So in honour of keeping a sense of humour whilst travelling, today’s word is:
label : la•bel /ˈlābəl/ (noun)(verb) : noun
- A small piece of paper, fabric, plastic, or similar material attached to an object and giving information about it.
verb
-Attach a label to (something).
Synonym as a noun: tag - ticket - tally - etiquette - sticker - docket - tab
Synonym as a verb: tag - mark
First seen in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (written 1599-1600). The full text of the play may be found here.
