placardn. Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French placard. Etymology: < Middle French placard, placquart, plaquart, placart (French placard ) piece of writing on an unfolded parchment (1364), official announcement fixed to a wall (1444), (probably) a piece of armour, or a small shield (a1471 in an apparently isolated attestation), seditious document circulated in public (c1552), wooden decoration above a door frame (1572) < plaquer (French plaquer ) to apply gold or silver to hair (middle of 13th cent. in Old French), to affix (a seal) to (1336; 1391 in plaquer le seel le roy to affix the seal of the king), to apply a flat thing to another, to face (1505), to plate with a metal (1690) ( < Middle Dutch placken to plaster, to coat with something sticky, to stick, to patch (Dutch placken ; < the same base as placke : see pleck n.)) + -ard -ard suffix. Compare Old Occitan placa plate, slab (end of 13th cent.; apparently < Middle Dutch placke : see pleck n.), Spanish placa (a1425). Compare ( < French) Middle Dutch plackaert , placaert , plackert , also plakaet , plackait (Dutch plakkaat ); also ( < Dutch) Middle Low German plakāt , German Plakat (end of 16th cent.). Compare placate n., placket n.1The French etymon does not account well for senses 1 and 2, as the evidence for related uses in French is scarce and rather doubtful; for the semantic parallel compare also post-classical Latin placatum piece of plate armour (1322 in a British source), Middle French plaquette thin plate of metal (1521: see plaquette n., and compare placate n.), and perhaps also early modern Dutch placke , Middle Low German placke in sense ‘patch, rag’ (see pleck n.; compare also Middle Dutch placken in sense ‘to patch’). In form placaert influenced by early modern Dutch (chiefly Flanders) plackaert . The forms plackerd , plakerde , and placad , placade perhaps also show Dutch influence. For further instances of possible Dutch (or Middle Low German) influence compare placate n., placket n.1 With sense 2 compare slightly earlier placket n.1 1. With letters of placard(s) at sense 4a compare Anglo-Norman lettre plakett (see placket n.1), Middle French lettre en placard (1486 or earlier), Middle Dutch plackaertbrief , plackertbrief , also letteren van placcate . With placard bearer n. at Compounds 2, placard-carrier n. at Compounds 1a, and placard man n. at Compounds 2 compare placarder n., placardeer n. N.E.D. (1907) also gives the pronunciation (plăkā·ɹd) /pləˈkɑːd/. I.
