A baldric (also baldrick, bawdrick, bauldrick as well as some other, mostly rare or obsolete, variations) is a wide, usually ornamental belt worn around the waist and over one shoulder that is typically used to carry weapons (such as swords). Baldrics are well-suited toward carrying larger weapons of this nature due to the support system offered by its unique design. The word baldric can also refer to any belt in general, but this usage is less popular.
