A gorget\u00a0 is a\u00a0 versatile term\u00a0 that refers to an item of armor for protecting the neck and chest, a neck\u00a0 ornament , derived from the French\u00a0 word gorge for neck .Originally , it was a \u00a0medieval steel armor that protected\u00a0 a knight’s neck, but over time\u00a0 it became\u00a0 a military insignia ( like\u00a0 a rank badge ), and today it also\u00a0 appears as an ornament or part of fantasy armor.<\/p>\n
