Ordinary (heraldry)
In heraldry, an ordinary is a simple geometrical figure on the arms, wider than a line or division of the field. There are also some geometric charges known as subordinaries, which are given lesser status by heraldic writers, even though most have been in use just as long as the traditional ordinaries.
