Etymology

Middle English label (“narrow band, strip of cloth”) from Old French label, lambel (Modern French: lambeau), of Germanic origin, from Low Frankish *labba (“torn piece of cloth”) from Proto-Germanic *lappjaz, *lappēn, *lappōn, *lapil- (“cloth stuff, rag, scraps, flap, dewlap, lobe, rabbit ear”) from Proto-Indo-European *leb- (“blade”). Akin to Old High German lappa "rag, piece of cloth" (German Lappen "cloths"), Old English læppa "skirt, flap of a garment". More at lap.
