Should it be called neck “lace” if it’s made of rocks?
The word necklace comes from the late 1500s and is a combination of the words neck and lace, which means “cord”. The word lace comes from the Old French word laz, which means “string, cord, or snare”. The Latin root of the word is laqueum, which means “noose or snare”. 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.)“flexible ornament worn round the neck,” 1580s, from neck (n.) + lace (n.) in the sense of “cord, string.” As the name of a South African form of lynching, from 1985.
early 13c., laz, “cord made of braided or interwoven strands of silk, etc.,” from Old French laz “a net, noose, string, cord, tie, ribbon, or snare” (Modern French lacs), from Vulgar Latin *lacium, from Latin laqueum (nominative laqueus) “a noose, a snare” (source also of Italian laccio, Spanish lazo, English lasso), a trapping and hunting term, probably from Italic base *laq- “to ensnare” (compare Latin lacere “to entice”).Later also “net, noose, snare” (c. 1300); and “piece of cord used to draw together the edges of slits or openings in an article of clothing” (late 14c., as preserved in shoelace). In Middle English it mostly had the sense “cord, thread,” 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. Death’s lace was the icy grip of Death, and Love’s lace was a binding love.From 1540s as “ornamental cord or braid,” hence the meaning “fabric of fine threads in a patterned ornamental open net” (1550s),
