SCABBARD

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 278 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCABBARD , the sheath of a
sword
 . The early forms of the word given in the Promptorium parvulorum are scauberk, scaubert or scauberd. The termination is certainly from the Teutonic
bergen
 , to protect, as seen in " hauberk," " hawberk " (i.e. halsberg), literally a
protection
  for the neck and shoulders, hence the "
long
  tunic of
mail
  " of the r 2th
century
  (see ARMS AND
ARMOUR
 ). The first
part
  is doubtful;
Skeat
  takes it as representing the O. Fr. escale, mod. ecaille, shell, Ger. Schale; the word would therefore mean an outer sheath or shell that covers or protects.
