A term used where an ordinary is placed below its proper position; as in the case of a second chief, where one is added expressive of a special concession, or honourable augmentation. The fesse and chevron are abaiss/s when they are placed lower in the field than usually. The word is also used of the wings of birds, when, instead cf being raised towards the chief, they droop towards the point. In French heraldry,when another chief is added as an honourable augmentation,the former one is placed under it and said to be abaissé
