What does coticed cross mean?

"Coticed cross" refers to a specific type of heraldic cross that features a design where the arms of the cross are not straight but instead have a series of short, sharp projections or cotes. This style adds a decorative element to the cross, making it visually distinct in coats of arms and heraldry. The term "coticed" derives from the Old French Word "cotice," meaning "to cut," which reflects the jagged appearance of the cross's edges.
