FESS
n.
A band drawn horizontally across the center of an escutcheon, and containing in breadth the third part of it; one of the nine honorable ordinaries.
a.
Set between two cottises, -- said of a bend; or between two barrulets, -- said of a bar or fess.
v. t.
To charge (a bearing) upon another bearing; as, to supercharge a rose upon a fess.
n.
The whole surface of an escutcheon; also, so much of it is shown unconcealed by the different bearings upon it. See Illust. of Fess, where the field is represented as gules (red), while the fess is argent (silver).
n.
Alt. of Fesse
n.
Weariness.
v.
One of the abatements. It is made of two curved lines, meeting in an acute angle in the fesse point.
a.
Having the edge broken like battlements; -- said of a bearing such as a fess, bend, or the like.
adv.
In the manner of fess.
n.
An ordinary, like a fess but narrower, occupying only one fifth part of the field.
n.
A point halfway between the fess point and the middle base point of an escutcheon; -- called also navel point. See Escutcheon.
a.
Deeply indented; having large teeth; thus, a fess dancette has only three teeth in the whole width of the escutcheon.

A subordinary of triangular form having one of its angles at the fess point and the opposite aide at the edge of the escutcheon. When there is only one gyron on the shield it is bounded by two lines drawn from the fess point, one horizontally to the dexter side, and one to the dexter chief corner.
v. t.
Lying on its side; thus, a chevron couche is one which emerges from one side of the escutcheon and has its apex on the opposite side, or at the fess point.
a.
Borne lower than usual, as a fess; also, having the ends of the wings turned downward towards the point of the shield.
a.
Paly, and then divided fesswise, so that each vertical piece is cut into two, having the colors used alternately or counterchanged. Thus the escutcheon in the illustration may also be blazoned paly of six per fess counterchanged argent and azure.
