TATTOO

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 451 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TATTOO , a
signal
  given by
beat
  of drum and
call
  of
bugle
  at nightfall for soldiers to go to quarters when in
garrison
  or to tents when in the
field
 . The earlier word is taptoo or taptow, and was borrowed from Du. taptoe; the phrase de taptoe slaan, to
close
  the taps, and the parallel Ger. Zapfenstreich, literally " tap-stroke " (Zapf, a tap of a cask), show that it meant originally a
signal
  that the " taps " or public-houses were closed for the night.
