Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French pavise, pavais.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman pavise (14th cent.) and Middle French pavais, pavois great shield (1336 in sense 1b, 1365 in sense 1a; French pavois ) < Italian pavese (1280 as panvese ), use as noun of pavese of or relating to Pavia < post-classical Latin pavensis of or relating to Pavia < Pavia , the name of a city in northern Italy, where these shields were originally made (see Pavian adj. and n.) + -ese -ese suffix. Compare post-classical Latin pavensis shield made in Pavia (late 13th cent. in Italian sources), also pavesis, pavesius, pavesium, pavesus, pavexius (14th cent. in French and Italian sources), pavisium (1374, 1418 in British sources), pavissis (early 15th cent. in a British source), Old Occitan paves (1347), Spanish pavés (1253), Catalan pavès (1309); also Middle Dutch pavais, pavois (Dutch †pavoois), Middle Low German pafoyse, Middle High German pavese, pafese (early modern German pafese).Pavia was a centre of armour production in the Middle Ages. Compare also Old French hiaume paviois Pavian helmets (1210–20), Middle French escu pavaiz Pavian shields (1337). Compare pavis adj. In Middle English and Older Scots frequently unchanged in the plural; such forms give rise to occasional inferred singular forms without final -s (compare quot. c1600 at sense 1a(b)). With the form pavas compare Middle French pavaz, pavas, with alteration of the suffix (second half of the 14th cent.).
Now archaic and historical.
1.
a. A distinctive form of late-medieval shield (apparently produced originally in Pavia), flat, more or less oblong in outline, but sometimes with a convex top edge, with a wide, flat, raised medial band, hollowed out at the back, extending from top to bottom. In later use sometimes applied to any large shield.The pavise was made in sizes appropriate for mounted or infantry use, but is best known from the very large size (as much as 128 cm high) that could be propped up to stand independently and so be used as a protective screen, for example, by a crossbowman, esp. during sieges.
