Words similar to chainmail

Example sentences for: chainmail

How can you use “chainmail” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The most naive speaker of English realizes, without going into the details of their syntactosemantic relationships, that chain-armour and chainmail do not bear the same relationship to chain as chain-gang, chain-letter , and chain-stitch , that the chain in chain reaction is different from that in chain store (not `a store where one buys chains') and in chain-smoker (not `a person who smokes chains'), and that while chain drive and chain-saw are related because both are driven by chains, the use of chain in chain-link and chain-mail is semantically misleading, for the chief characteristic of a chain is its “one-dimensionality” while chain-link and chain-mail are, of course, two-dimensional--creating what might be considered a bent metaphor.
