TASSEL Meaning and Definition

  1. A tassel is a decorative adornment made from a bunch of hanging threads or cords that are gathered together at one end. It is typically attached to a larger object or garment, such as a curtain, pillow, hat, or piece of jewelry, to add a touch of embellishment or flair.

    Tassels have been used for centuries, and their origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia. They serve both decorative and functional purposes, often symbolizing status, elegance, or religious significance. The threads used in tassels can be made of various materials, including silk, wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers, and they are often dyed in vibrant colors to enhance their aesthetic appeal.

    The construction of a tassel involves gathering multiple threads or cords together, securing them tightly at one end with a knot or wrapping, and then allowing the threads to hang freely. The length of the threads can vary, ranging from short tassels that barely extend beyond the gathering point to long, elaborate tassels that reach several inches in length.

    Tassels can be seen in a wide range of settings, from traditional clothing and ceremonial attire to modern home decor and fashion accessories. They add a distinctive touch to the items they embellish, providing a sense of elegance, movement, and visual interest.

  2. A pendent ornament attached to the corners of a cushion, &c., consisting of a bunch of silk attached to a cord; a silk ribbon sewed to a book, to be put between the leaves as a mark for reference.
