WHAT DOES TUFFET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tuffet

Tuffet

A tuffet, pouffe or hassock is a piece of furniture used as a footstool or low seat. It is distinguished from a stool by being completely covered in cloth so that no legs are visible. It is essentially a large hard cushion that may have an internal wooden frame to give it more rigidity. Wooden feet may be added to the base to give it stability, at which point it becomes a stool or a footstool. If the piece is larger, with storage space inside it, then it is generally known as an ottoman. Hassock has special association with churches, as it is used to describe the thick cushions employed by the congregation to kneel on while in prayer. A tuffet is also an English unit of capacity, equal to 2 pecks, or half a bushel. Another sense of the word tuffet is "an inflatable landing area for precision accuracy parachute landings".
