fylfot

/ˈfɪl.fɒt/ UK
/ˈfɪl.fɑt/ US

Rhymes with -ɪlfɒt

Where it comes from

Uncertain, but likely from Middle English fillen (“to fill”) (from Old English fyllan) + fot (“foot”) (from Old English fōt), in reference to its use as a design to be placed at the bottom of stained-glass windows.

noun fylfots

A swastika, especially one with the arms bent in an anticlockwise direction. Then look at that jade fylfot charm pawned for one-and-three down at the Basin and the use that could have been made of it in the Kharkov 'ritual murder' trial.
