Why “brinie” is a great word
BRINIE — [Noun] A coat of mail. From Middle English brinie, from Old Norse brynja (“coat of mail”). Unlike a "hauberk," which typically denotes a longer mail shirt extending to the knees, or a "cuirass," which refers specifically to rigid torso armor, a brinie is the foundational garment of interlinked steel rings. It is the cold weight settling on the shoulders at dawn, the faint, steely rasp with every breath, and the ten thousand individual glints extinguished by dust and road-grime—a weary, metallic second skin that stands between a life and a silence.
noun
- A coat of mail.“In one of these mail-shirts, which is made of very delicate iron rings, each of them is riveted with a small nub of bronze, which must have given the brinie a very elegant appearance.”
