ETIQUETTE

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 852 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ETIQUETTE , a
term
  for ceremonial usage, the rules of behaviour observed in society, more particularly the formal rules of ceremony to be observed at
court
  functions, &c., the
procedure
 , especially with regard to precedence and promotions in an organized
body
  or society. Professions, such as the law or
medicine
 , observe a code of etiquette, which the members must observe as protecting the dignity of the profession and preventing injury to its members. The word is
French
 . The 0. Fr. estiquette or estiquet meant a label, or "
ticket
 ," the true
English
  derivative. The ultimate origin is Teutonic, from sticken, to
post
  up, stick, affix. Cotgrave explains the word in
French
  as a billet for the benefit or advantage of him that receives it, a form of introduction and also a notice affixed at the gate of a
court
  of law. The development of meaning in French from a label to ceremonial rules is not difficult in itself, but, as the New
English
  Dictionary points out, the history has not been clearly established.
