Word of the Day: SISTER-FOLD

ETYMOLOGY
from sister + fold (a clasp or embrace, obs.)

EXAMPLE
“…Are these of such fantastic mould,
Seen distant down the fair arcade,
These Maids enlink’d in sister-fold,
Who late at bashful distance staid,
Now tripping from the greenwood shade,
Nearer the musing champion draw,
And, in a pause of seeming awe,
Again stand doubtful now? …”

From: The Bridal of Triermain
By Walter Scott, 1813
