armours
Suits of protection
Armours is the British spelling of the plural noun and third-person singular verb.
As a noun, armours are protective coverings—metal suits worn by medieval knights, plating on tanks, or figurative defenses: the psychological armours we build.
As a verb, one armours a vehicle or structure by adding protective material. (American spelling: armors.)
