Etymology
The word 'tassel' originates from the Middle English term 'tasle', which came from the Old French 'tassel', meaning 'a bunch of threads'. This, in turn, can be traced back to the Latin word 'tassella', a diminutive of 'tassus', referring to a bunch or a tuft. Historically, tassels were used to signify rank or position, with their use prevalent in various cultures. They have been employed in military uniforms, academic regalia, and home decor for centuries, symbolizing festivity, elegance, and the attainment of knowledge. The adaptation of 'tasseled' as an adjective reflects the continued appreciation of these decorative elements in both fashion and furnishings.
