Heraldry. Border surrounding the field of which it is the one-fifth part in width. In medieval heraldry, the border was borne as a difference or mark of cadency. It is now frequently borne as a charge. The border is placed over all ordinaries, except the chief, quarter, or canton which invariably surmount it. It has no diminutive, but it may be surmounted by another of half its width. 3, record 1, English, - border
