WHAT DOES AIGUILLETTE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

aiguillette

Aiguillette

An aiguillette (from French "aiguillette", small needle) is an ornamental braided cord most often worn on uniforms, but may also be observed on other costumes such as academic dress, where it will denote an honour. Originally, the word "aiguillette" referred to the lacing used to fasten plate armor together. As such, a knot or loop arrangement was used which sometimes hung from the shoulder. Aiguillettes should not be confused with lanyards, which are cords also worn from the shoulder (or around the neck), but do not have the pointed aiguillette tips (see Aiguillette (ornament)) and are usually of fibre rather than gold or silver wire, and often not braided.

Definition of aiguillette in the English dictionary

The definition of aiguillette in the dictionary is an ornamentation worn by certain military officers, consisting of cords with metal tips.
