roquete

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Las "principalas", por su parte, andaban vestidas con unas camisas de algodón, llamadas huipilli, que eran como blusas sin mangas, delgadas aunque muy amplias, y en ocasiones, labradas; según Cortés, tales prendas parecían roquetes blancos, parecidos a los sobrepellices de los eclesiásticos (Figura 8). [footnote]
footnote: roquete es una especie de sobrepelliz cerrado y con mangas cortas; el sobrepelliz es una vestidura blanca de lienzo fino con mangas perdidas o muy anchas, que llevan los eclesiásticos sobre la sotana.

rochet is a vestment generally worn by a Roman Catholic or Anglican Bishop in choir dress. It is unknown in the Eastern Churches. The rochet is similar to a surplice, except that the sleeves are narrower. In the Roman Catholic tradition, the rochet comes below the knee and its sleeves and hem are sometimes made of lace; in the Anglican tradition, the rochet comes down almost to the hem of the cassock and its sleeves are gathered at the wrist.

The word stems from the Latin rochettum (from the late Latin roccus, connected with the Old High German roch, roc and the A.S. rocc; Dutch koorhemd, rochet, French rochet, German Rochett, Chorkleid, Italian rocchetto, Spanish roquete), means an ecclesiastical vestment.
