† care-clothn.

Forms: Also 1500s carke-cloth.

Etymology: Etymology uncertain: Palsgrave's ‘carde, clothe (? read carde-clothe ) for brides’ seems to be the same word, and, if not merely a blunder, would seem to point to identity of the first element with carde n.¹ Some have conjectured French carre noun or carré adjective, square; the word can hardly be care n.¹, though that sense has been played on.

Obsolete exc. Historical.

A cloth formerly held over (or placed upon) the heads of the bride and bridegroom as they knelt during the marriage-service.Cf. medieval Latin jugalis, for which Du Cange quotes an example of 4th cent., showing that it denoted a cloth placed upon the head of the bride and the shoulders of the bridegroom.
