SLEEVE (O. Eng. slieve, slyf, a word allied to " slip," cf. Dutch sloof, apron)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 241 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SLEEVE (O. Eng. slieve, slyf, a word allied to " slip," cf. Dutch sloof, apron) , that
part
  of a garment which covers the arm, or through which the arm passes or slips. The
pattern
  of the
sleeve
  is one of the characteristics of fashion in dress, varying in every country and period. Various survivals of the early forms of
sleeve
  are still found in the different types of academic or other
robes
  (q.v.). Where the
long
 
hanging
  sleeve is worn it has, as still in
China
  and Japan, been used as a
pocket
 , whence has come the phrase " to have up one's sleeve," to have something concealed ready to produce. There are many other proverbial and metaphorical expressions associated with the sleeve, such as "to
wear
  one's heart upon one's sleeve," " to laugh in one's sleeve," &c. In technical usage a " sleeve " is a tubeinto which another tube is inserted, which in the
case
  of small tubes is called a thimble.
