surplice. A loose white liturgical garment, with wide sleeves. It developed from the
alb, allowing room for warm clothes underneath. From the 12th cent. it came to be the distinctive dress of the lower clergy and to be used by priests outside Mass. It is now worn by all clerics, and is also used by laymen, e.g. in choir. Its use in the C of E was a matter of controversy in the reign of
Elizabeth I, but is now accepted. See
