Coif

Coif, a head dress. In the middle ages a defensive covering for the head was called by this name, but it was applied more particularly to the covering for the shaven crown of the priests, and to the cap of the advocates. A barrister becoming a sergeant is said to be advanced to the degree of the coif, and takes position accordingly.
