The word Necklace has been in use for centuries and has undergone a slight change in its meaning over time. It is thought to derive from the Latin word ‘neclacus’, meaning a chain with a hanging ornament. In its early days, the word was used to refer to a chain or ribbon with a pendant of gold, silver, or gems. The word later expanded to include any item of jewelry (most commonly a chain with a hanging ornament) worn around the neck, as well as any other adornment. Morphologically, the word refers to a series of beads or other structure assembled for the purpose of adornment, with its root found in the idea of hanging and a chain. From a pragmatic perspective, Necklace suggests an ornament worn around the neck, emphasizing its decorative purpose.
