cleche
In heraldry, a cross (or other ordinary) cleché (clechée, clechy) flares out at the ends before tapering back to a point, in a shape resembling the bow of an old-fashioned key (French clé). An example is the Occitan cross or Cross of Toulouse in the coat of arms of the counts of Toulouse: Gules, a cross cléchée, pommetty and voided Or. Because this Occitan cross is also voided (hollow), some writers have mistakenly taken the term cléché to be a synonym of voided or to include voiding as a defining feature.
Webster Dictionary
Clecheadjective
charged with another bearing of the same figure, and of the color of the field, so large that only a narrow border of the first bearing remains visible; -- said of any heraldic bearing. Compare Voided

Cleché
In heraldry, a cross cleché, or clechée, flares out at the tips in a shape resembling the handle of an old-fashioned key. The outstanding example is the Occitan cross, in the coat of arms of the counts of Toulouse: Gules, a cross cléchée, pommetty and voided Or. Because this cross is also voided, some writers have taken the term cléché either to be a synonym of voided or to include voiding as a defining feature.

Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
