† to-tag Obs.
In 3 to tagge, (to tage).
[app. f. to-1 + tagge, tag n. pendant or addition, or v. to append. But the simple n. and vb. are not known bef. c 1400, and then not in abstract sense.
It is to be remembered however that tag was prob. a word not likely to occur in literature; and that there are other words in which the compound with to- is known much earlier than the simple word, e.g. to-crush, to-touse.]
Something ‘tagged’ or attached to a fact; a circumstance.
