BARDED Meaning and
Definition
-
Barded is an adjective that describes the act of equipping or covering a horse or other animal with armor or protective gear. The term "barded" originates from the Middle French word "bardé," derived from the Old French word "barde," which means armor for a horse.
In medieval times, horses were often used in warfare, carrying knights into battle. They were vulnerable to attacks, especially from arrows and other weapons, which led to the development of barding. Barding typically consisted of thick, protective plates made from metal or leather that were attached to the horse's body, neck, and head.
Barding served several purposes. Its primary function was to protect the horse from injury in combat, acting as a form of armor. It also served as a means to display wealth and status, as intricate, decorative designs were often incorporated into the barding. Barding could also include additional accessories such as reins, bridles, and saddlecloths.
Today, the use of barding is mostly limited to historical reenactments and parades. However, the term can also be used metaphorically to describe any form of protective covering or shielding. For example, one might speak of a "barded door" to refer to a door reinforced with metal or a "barded cable" to describe a cable protected with an external layer.

Etymology of BARDED
The word "barded" has its origins in Middle English, specifically derived from the Old French word "barder". The Old French term "barder" meant "to dress in armor" or "to arm". It is believed to have derived from the Late Latin word "bardus", which referred to a soldier's armor or equipment. Over time, the meaning of "barder" expanded to encompass the act of covering or protecting something, specifically horses. In medieval times, "barded" was used to describe horses that were fully equipped or armored for battle, typically with metal plates or other protective materials covering their bodies. Eventually, the term extended to describe any animal that had been outfitted with protective gear.
