Edit
Literally "bag piece" or "scrotum piece" in Old English.
A covering flap or pouch enclosing the male genital area, attached to the crotch region of pants or some other garment. Essentially the European equivalent of a penis sheath.
Most codpieces are made out of cloth or leather, though metal ones also exist, sculpted to fit a man's scrotum and penis.
