Christian bishops
editThe headdress of Christian bishops, called the mitre, comes from the Greek word μίτρα mitra, meaning "turban". Considering the enormous degree of cultural exchange between Ancient Greece and India, this word mitra is recognisable as, and probably identical to, an analogous word in Sanskrit meaning "ribbon"; which, by a circuitous etymology, also supplies the Hindi word for "friend".

Utility
editThere seems to be no discussion of the utility of these things. I suspect that they have, or had, some use other than adornment. Let's see, the obvious possibilities are protection from sun, wind, or rain, and heating/cooling. Other less obvious uses are protection from head impacts and, if re-configured, as a mask for the face (and eyes?) -- I'm thinking in sand (or snow) storms. Or even as a (spare) shawl or body wrap. Maybe I'm wrong and they're totally without practical use and always have been. It just seems that most clothing (with the exception of jewelry) has evolved from practical to signalling.174.130.71.156 (talk) 23:17, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
