bracer


an alcoholic drink taken to steady the nerves
old alcoholic: the ex is stopping in today with her social worker–time for a little bracer.
similar to a gauntlet, the bracer is a form of forearm armor used primarily by swordsmen, designed to catch blows with their off hand. unlike a gauntlet, the bracer neither covers the hand, nor slides over the hand like a glove, but instead clasps on the underside of the arm via straps or has a slit through which the arm can be inserted.

greek variants of the bracer often extended past the wrist with a v-shaped piece of bronze to guard the back of the hand. this variant was later adapted into a weapon by extending the guard beyond the knuckles, giving the user the ability to – quite literally – punch a hole through their enemies.
the bracer is superior to the gauntlet because it leaves the fingers free.
