† monogramn.¹

Forms: 1600s monogramme, 1600s 1800s monogram.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin monogrammus.

Etymology: < classical Latin monogrammus, adjective < Greek *μονόγραμμος outlined, drawn with single lines < ancient Greek μονο- mono- comb. form + γραμμή line (see -gram comb. form).Cicero attributes the use of the classical Latin adjective to Epicurus (apparently with the sense ‘unsubstantial’), as descriptive of the gods according to his conception of them, and Lucilius uses monogrammus to designate a thin and colourless person, a ‘mere shadow’. Nonius (c280), who preserved the passage of Lucilius, explained the word as designating a picture drawn in line only, before the colour is applied.

Obsolete.

A picture drawn in lines without shading or colour; a sketch. Also figurative.

Forms: 1600s– monogram, 1900s– monogramme (irregular).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin monogrammum.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin monogrammum (4th cent. in monogrammum Christi monogram of Christ; also monogramma , 5th cent.) < Byzantine Greek μονόγραμμον , use as noun of neuter of μονόγραμμος < ancient Greek μονο- mono- comb. form + γράμμα letter (see -gram comb. form). Both the post-classical Latin and the Byzantine Greek words were applied to the motif of combined letters which represented the signature of the Byzantine emperors. Compare Middle French, French monogramme (1610; 1578 in sense ‘symbol which certain artists put at the base of their works’), Italian monogramma (a1647).

1. A motif consisting of two or more letters, esp. the initials of a person's name, written together and usually interwoven, used as a symbol to identify a personal possession or to sign a work of art, etc. Also spec.
