Thoraxe: noun. The two meanings of this word are as follows:
1. An alternative weapon for the Norse god of thunder, Thor. According to mythology in the final battles of Ragnarok, Thor's hammer will finally be broken in a fight against Frost Giants and so to defeat the great snake Jormungandr, threatening to destroy the world tree Yggdrasil, Thor takes up a thoraxe and slays the snake in its path.
2. Thor's thoraxe, will be decorated with thoraxes, which are the middle segments of insects, but with two large blades on both sides. These thoraxes were first seen on the renowned battle beetles of northern Wales, where they almost went extinct due to the dragging weight of their large metal blades.
