Nouch is a term commonly used in heraldry, referring to a specific type of knot or decoration typically found as an ornamentation on a decorative girdle or belt worn by individuals of high social status. It is characterized by a series of interwoven metal rings or loops, often arranged in a repetitive pattern, resembling a chain or a linked chain-like design. The nouch is generally considered a prestigious and elegant element in heraldic design.
Originating from Old French, the word "nouch" is believed to have been derived from the Latin term "nocca," meaning "knuckle." As heraldry developed and flourished throughout the Middle Ages, the nouch became a popular addition to various coats of arms and crests, often serving as a symbol of wealth, nobility, or chivalry. It was frequently displayed on the arms of prominent families or individuals, acting as a visual representation of their social standing and heritage.
In contemporary usage, the term "nouch" is primarily restricted to the field of heraldry and the study of historical symbols and insignia. It is no longer commonly employed outside this specialized domain, and its meaning has become largely limited to its specific context within the realm of decorative ornaments and armorial designs.
