maces
Medieval flanged weapons
Maces is the plural of mace, which names two unrelated things.
A mace is a medieval weapon—a heavy spiked club designed to crush armor: The knight swung his mace.
Mace is also a spice made from the lacy covering of nutmeg seeds, used in baking and savory dishes.
The plural maces almost always refers to the weapons; the spice is uncountable.
