A close-fitting cover for something long and thin, most often a knife or sword - it protects the blade and protects you from it. The word is also used more broadly for any snug covering that something slides into, like a plastic sheath around a wire, or, in fashion, a 'sheath dress,' one that fits closely to the body's shape.
(刀劍等的)鞘；(電線等的)護套
