rationale
rationale. The word has been used of the breastplate worn by the Jewish High Priest, of a liturgical vestment worn by some German bishops, of a gold ornament formerly sometimes worn by bishops celebrating Mass, and in ecclesiastical contexts in a general sense of a reasoned exposition of principles, e.g. in the title of W. Durandus, Rationale Divinorum Officiorum.
