Etymology
The word 'badge' comes from the Old French word 'bagde,' which originally referred to an emblem. It found its way into English by the late 14th century. The term was primarily used to denote a mark of distinction or an emblem worn on clothing to indicate rank, membership, or affiliation with a group. The verb form 'to badge' emerged later, in the 19th century, indicating the act of attaching or bestowing such emblems. Historically, badges have functioned as symbols of authority or identification across various fields, including law enforcement, military, and volunteer organizations. The practice of using badges has also lent itself to the creation of various designs and meanings, further enriching its etymological journey.
