cripplement (countable and uncountable, plural cripplements)

  1. (archaic) The condition of being crippled; an injury that limits mobility.
    (Can we find and add a quotation of George V. Wigram to this entry?)
    Oh, I do not conceive that Jacob's cripplement was one half so much of a cripplement as Paul's! He was altogether crippled, and the Lord makes him feel what a very poor thing he is. His was to be a life of perfect realized dependence like Christ's.
