Origin

Early 16th century (in the general senses 'short written note' and 'a licence or permit'): shortening of obsolete French étiquet, from Old French estiquet(te), from estiquier 'to fix', from Middle Dutch steken. Compare with etiquette.

  • This is a shortening of an Old French word estiquette, which is also the origin of etiquette. A ticket was originally a ‘short written note’ and ‘a licence or permit’— the use for a piece of paper or card giving admission or permission to travel dates from the late 17th century.
