Hurt

Hurt

Hurt, (fr. heurte, but more frequently tourteau, d'azur): a roundle azure, said to be named from the hurtle or whortle-berry. The term does not appear to be used before the seventeenth century. In old arms the 'rondels de azure' and pellets de azure signify the same thing. See also under roundle. The term hurty, signifying semé of hurts, is also employed.
