Etymology

The term 'cockade' originated from the French word 'coq', meaning 'rooster', which was a symbol used in early revolutionary France. Cockades were first made popular during the French Revolution when they were worn as a symbol of allegiance to the revolutionary cause. The Association with the rooster was part of a broader use of national symbols during the revolutionary fervor. The practice of wearing cockades spread to other countries, often as political symbols, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries when nationalism was on the rise. Over time, cockades have evolved in their use and design, becoming associated with various military and political groups. Today, they maintain a decorative and symbolic purpose rather than a practical one.
