bracer
Forearm shield, archery
A bracer is something that braces or strengthens.
In archery, it's a guard worn on the forearm to protect against the snap of the bowstring.
More informally, a bracer is a stimulating drink, typically alcoholic, taken to fortify oneself: I needed a bracer before the interview.
The word suggests something that tightens, steadies, or prepares you for what's ahead.
