  1. 1.

    A loose outer garment resembling a cassock or coat, often sleeveless, worn by soldiers over armour or by menservants as a type of overcoat.

    You see likewise, that the lion, being the king of beasts; the horse, being the lustiest creature; the unicorn, whose horn is worth half a city; all these go with no more clothes on their backs, than what nature hath bestowed upon them: but your baboons, and your jackanapes, being the scum and rascality of all the hedge-creepers, they go in jerkins and mandilions.

  2. 1.

    Alternative form of mandylion.

词源

From Middle French mandillon (from 1572), from mandille + -on (“forming diminutives of things”); compare Italian mandiglione (1598).
