Gusset (heraldry)
In heraldry, a gusset is a Charge (heraldry), charge resembling the union of a Pile (heraldry), pile with a Pale (heraldry), pale extending from Escutcheon (heraldry)#Points, chief to Escutcheon (heraldry)#Points, base (or in the case of a flag typically resembling the union of a Pile (heraldry), pile and a fess extending from hoist to fly). In French heraldry, it has been classed as one of the thirty Ordinary (heraldry), honorable ordinaries. For an 'inverted' gusset, one issuing from base and extending to the chief, some authors prefer the term graft. Other heraldic traditions conceive of the gusset not as this central charge but as a "line of truncation of the field", a flank-like charge similar to the Gore (heraldry), gore or flaunch. A pair of gussets defined this way produce said central form as negative space between them upon the field. Heraldic writers in these traditions describe the gusset as 'line of truncation of the field' as "a traverse line" extending diagonally ...

Gusset Demo

Gousset
Gousset was a component of late Medieval armor. During the transition from mail to plate armor, sections of mail covered parts of the body that were not protected by steel plate. These sections of mail were known as gousset. Gousset came into use in the fourteenth century as plate became a structural part of a suit of knightly armor rather than an addition strapped over a suit of mail. During the fourteenth century there was considerable variation in the ratio of gousset to plate. By the early fifteenth century the use of gousset was generally restricted to joints such as the hip, neck, armpits, and elbows. It declined in Italian white armour as improvements in armor design covered these areas with plate. Gousset was nearly absent from white armor by 1450, but remained in German Gothic plate armour throughout most of the century. The term has been lent to clothing as gusset In sewing, a gusset is a triangular or rhomboidal piece of textiles, fabric inserted into a seam ...
