Etymology

The word 'tasselled' is derived from 'tassel,' which comes from the Middle English term 'tasel.' This term is thought to originate from the Old French word 'tassel,' meaning 'a bunch of threads or fibers.' The origins of the word can be traced back to the Vulgar Latin *tassella, which is a diminutive form of *tassa, meaning a cord or cluster. It's believed that the decorative use of tassels has been a part of human culture for centuries, with evidence found in ancient Egyptian artifacts and throughout various historical fashion trends. Historically, tassels have been used not only for decoration but also as symbols of rank and achievement, as seen in academic regalia.
