Supportasse
A supportasse or underpropper is a stiffened support for a ruff or collar. Essential items of courtly fashion in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, supportasses are sometimes called piccadills (picadils, pickadills), whisks, or rebatos, terms used at different times for both the supporters and the various lace or linen collar styles to which they were attached. I pray you, sir, what say you to these great ruffs, which are borne up with supporters and rebatoes, as it were with post and rail?— Arthur Dent, The Plain Man's Pathway To Heaven (1631),
