"Pancerz" vs. "zbroja". What is the difference?
The dictionary gives me two entries for "armour" - "pancerz" and "zbroja" and their derivatives. Is there any difference in the meaning or maybe in the style?

Question

Answer

"Pancerz" can be used to describe different things:
 - a part of an armour or a shielding in general (for example: of a tank),
 - a hard layer covering (and protecting) an animal (compare with "pancernik" = "armadillo")
 - someone's attitude (if he/she is hiding his/her fillings)
 - perhaps something else...

"Zbroja" is mainly used to refer to an armour of a knight.
