Scabbard

n. [Ō. Eng. scauberk, scawberk, perhaps from Icel. skafa, chisel, and biarga, Goth. bairgan, O. H. Ger. bergan, N. H. Ger. bergen, to conceal. Cf. Icel. skálpr, scabbard, O. Sw. skalp.] The case in which the blade of a sword, &c., is kept; a sheath.

Nor in thy scabbard sheathe that famous blade. Fairfax.
