Which brings up an interesting question. Fredās employer excavated rocks. Fredās wife wore excavated rocks as an extravagant accessory, completely beyond their lifestyle. How long until Fred gets the axe for pilfering?
Should it be called neck ālaceā if itās made of rocks?
The word necklace comes from the late 1500s and is a combination of the words neck and lace, which means ācordā. The word lace comes from the Old French word laz, which means āstring, cord, or snareā. The Latin root of the word is laqueum, which means ānoose or snareā. The earliest known use of the verb necklace is in the early 1700s, in the writing of James Petiver, a botanist and entomologist. The earliest necklaces were made of natural materials such as feathers, bone, shells, and plant materials. The oldest example of the chain necklace was found in ancient Babylonia (modern day Iraq), where royal tombs hid magnificent jewelry dating back to around 2500 BC.
necklace (n.)āflexible ornament worn round the neck,ā 1580s, from neck (n.) + lace (n.) in the sense of ācord, string.ā As the name of a South African form of lynching, from 1985.
early 13c., laz, ācord made of braided or interwoven strands of silk, etc.,ā from Old French laz āa net, noose, string, cord, tie, ribbon, or snareā (Modern French lacs), from Vulgar Latin *lacium, from Latin laqueum (nominative laqueus) āa noose, a snareā (source also of Italian laccio, Spanish lazo, English lasso), a trapping and hunting term, probably from Italic base *laq- āto ensnareā (compare Latin lacere āto enticeā).Later also ānet, noose, snareā (c. 1300); and āpiece of cord used to draw together the edges of slits or openings in an article of clothingā (late 14c., as preserved in shoelace). In Middle English it mostly had the sense ācord, thread,ā especially for tying or binding. It was used of fishing lines and perhaps the gallows rope, crossbeams in architecture, and the net Vulcan used to catch Venus in adultery. Deathās lace was the icy grip of Death, and Loveās lace was a binding love.From 1540s as āornamental cord or braid,ā hence the meaning āfabric of fine threads in a patterned ornamental open netā (1550s),
