Wondrous Words Wednesday (8/31/11)

Wondrous Words Wednesday is hosted by Bermudaonion’s Weblog.
Wondrous Words Wednesday is a weekly meme where we share new (to us) words that we’ve encountered in our reading.”
My word this week is from Legacy by Cayla Kluver.
Jerkin
Definition: (noun) A close-fitting, hip-length, collarless jacket having no sleeves but often extended shoulders, belted and worn over a doublet by men especially in the 16th century.
Example of Use: "I jumped and spun around to find London leaning against the palace doors with one eyebrow cocked. He was dressed, as always, in a brown leather jerkin layered over a long-sleeved white shirt. (page 36)
Happy Wednesday!
