kyrtill

From Old Norse kyrtill, cognate with English kirtle.

• IPA^(key): /ˈcʰɪr̥tɪtl/
• Homophone: kirtill

kyrtill m (genitive singular kyrtils, nominative plural kyrtlar)

1. gown, tunic, robe
   • Luke 6:29 (English, Icelandic)

     Slái þig einhver á kinnina, skaltu og bjóða hina, og taki einhver yfirhöfn þína, skaltu ekki varna honum að taka kyrtilinn líka.

     If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.

Probably borrowed from Latin curtus (“short”), along with Old English cyrtel.
