Hm. The only word that matches lustre 5 and is _us__e in OneLook creates
stride (2), not stride (1) [that's sustre]
There's one in an etymology, so...
Let's try: repeal

That's the one I wasreferring to, but when I followed the link, it was in an
etymology, not its own entry. But these things are hard to tell. Oh, and OED
1st Ed likes it (as "a charge in the shape of a lozenge," whatever THAT
means).

A "charge"? Like an electric charge?

OH! That's what I thought, but nonono, a Heraldic charge. That makes more
sense (damn 4-point text):
Rustre. Also roustrie. Her. A charge having the form of a lozenge, with a
round hole in the middle through which the field appears.

Sounds like it's not just a lozenge - it's a life saver.
