Definition
Pronunciation: //ˈɡæm.bɪ.sən//
noun
- (historical) A defensive garment formerly in use for the body, made of cloth stuffed and quilted, often worn as padding under armor."Although the gambeson was chiefly worn under the coat of mail, to protect the body from being bruised by the strokes of the sword or lance, a circumstance that might happen without a division of the mail, the verses quoted in the Siege of Karleverok, shew that it was sometimes worn as a fur coat, and ornamented with rich decorations."
