[A corruption of cockard, a. F. cocarde, in 16th c. coquarde, deriv. of coq cock; according to Littré, so called from the cock's comb. But the first appearance of the word is in Rabelais, in the phrase bonnet à la coquarde, explained by Cotgrave (1611) as ‘a Spanish cap, or fashion of bonnet vsed by the most substantiall men of yore..also, any bonnet, or cap, worne proudly, or peartly on th' one side’. Here coquarde appears to be the fem. of coquard adj. ‘foolishly proud, saucy, malapert’, as n. ‘a malapert coxcomb’ (Cotgr.).]
A ribbon, knot of ribbons, rosette, or the like, worn in the hat as a badge of office or party, or as part of a livery dress.
