ruzuzu commented on the word bendy
"In heraldry, divided into four or more diagonal parts in the direction of the bend: said of the field. This word is used, no matter how great the number of the divisions, as bendlety and cottisy, which would be the regular forms, are awkward in use." --Cent. Dict.
