Usage Note
Dague refers to a short, double-edged thrusting dagger, typically from the medieval period. It is now largely a term in historical, heraldic, or fantasy contexts. In heraldry, une dague appears as a charge on coats of arms. The word should not be confused with the surname Daguerre (of daguerreotype fame).
