Etymology

The word 'labelling' originates from the term 'label', which can be traced back to the Middle English 'label', referring to a short strip of cloth. This term was derived from the Old French 'label', meaning a small tongue or a slip of paper. The roots go even further back to the Latin 'libella', a diminutive form of 'libra', meaning 'balance' or 'scale'. Initially, labels were tangible tags attached to objects to indicate information like ownership or description. Over time, the concept evolved to encompass various forms of classification across different fields, including science, marketing, and education, where labelling now plays a fundamental role in organization and identification.
