“Gyves” is a noun that refers to a pair of fetters or shackles, typically used to restrain a person’s wrists or ankles. These restraints are often made of metal and were historically used as a form of physical restraint or imprisonment, such as in the context of dungeons or during incarceration.
The term “gyves” is somewhat archaic and is not commonly used in modern English. In contemporary language, the more common term for such restraints is “shackles” or “fetters.”
