piccadill

noun ˈpɪkədɪl

historical

1A decorative edging of cut work or vandyking, especially on a collar, sleeve, or ruff; (in plural) the pieces of fabric which together make up such an edging. Also: a type of wide collar decorated in this way, fashionable in the early 17th cent.
2A stiff band of covered board or wire worn to support a wide collar or ruff.

Origin

Early 17th century; earliest use found in Thomas Dekker (c1572–1632), playwright and pamphleteer.
