A two-pointed hat worn sideways, so Napoleon could be spotted from miles away.
means A hat with two points or horns, most famously the sideways-worn style favored by Napoleon and other military and ceremonial officers.
from From Latin bi- ('two') plus cornu ('horn'), so literally 'two-horned.' The word originally described anything with two horn-like projections before it settled on headwear — the tricorn's sleeker descendant, with one point folded away for a lower profile and a more rakish silhouette.
