Word origin
The word 'roundel' originated from the Middle French word 'rondel', which means 'small disk'. It has been used in English since the late 14th century. Originally, it referred to a small circular object or a circular jewel. Over time, the term evolved to include the circular identifying marks on aircraft and the small circular charges in heraldry.
