badgen. Origin: Of unknown origin. Etymology: Origin unknown. Related to Anglo-Norman bage cognizance, badge, emblem (1376; also 1465 in apparently isolated use in Middle French), bageys (1334; apparently showing the plural form construed as singular, as also sometimes in Middle English), and to post-classical Latin bagea, bagia (from c1370 in British sources); the word's first attestation in Middle English is later than that in either Anglo-Norman or post-classical Latin, but this may be an accident of the historical record, and the word in Anglo-Norman and in post-classical Latin could show a borrowing < Middle English rather than vice versa. 1. society > communication > indication > insignia > [noun] > badge α.
