| 释义 | † ˈcare-cloth Obs. exc. Hist.
Also 6 carke-cloth.
[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. Some have conjectured F. carre n. or carré adj., square; the word can hardly be care n.1, though that sense has been played on.]
A cloth formerly held over (or placed upon) the heads of the bride and bridegroom as they knelt during the marriage-service.
Cf. med.L. jugalis, for which Du Cange quotes an example of 4th c., showing that it denoted a cloth placed upon the head of the bride and the shoulders of the bridegroom.
