LABEL,
a small slip of paper, &c. (F.,—Teut.) Variously
used. In heraldry, it denotes a horizontal strip with three
pendants or tassels. It is also used for a strip or slip of
silk, parchment, or paper. M.E. label, Chaucer, On the
Astrolabe, pt. i § 22; where it denotes a
moveable slip or rule of metal, used with an astrolabe as a
sort of pointer, and revolving on the front of it. [Not
'fitted with sights,' as said in Webster.]—O.F.
label, a label in the heraldic sense, later F. lambel;
see quotations in Littré. Cotgrave has: 'Lambel, a labell of
three points.' The doublet of lambel is lambeau; Cotgrave has:
'Lambeau, a shread, rag, or small piece of stuffe, or of a
garment ready to fall from, or holding but little to the
whole; also, a labell.' The orig. sense is 'a small flap' or 'lappet;' the E.
lapel being a doublet.—O.H.G.
lappa, M.H.G. lappe, cited by Fick as the older forms of G.
lappen, 'a flap, botch, patch, rag, tatter, ear of a hound,
lobe;' Flügel. This is cognate with E. lap; see Lap (2).
Der. label, verb; Twelfth Night, i. 5. 265. Doublets,
lapel, lappet.
