Noun
bacinet (plural bacinets)
- A bascinet.
- 1786, Bacinets were light helmets, so called from their resemblance to a bason, and were generally without vizors, though from diverse quotations cited by Du Cange, they appear occasionally to have had them. — Francis Grose, A Treatise on Ancient Armour and Weapons, page 11.
