Answer
Etiquette is a system of rules and regulations defining good form or "good manner" in social public or official behavior. It originally applied only to conduct in court drc1es, but the code has been extended to provide guides for everyday living.
The word "etiquette" is derived from the old French "estiquer", and that, in turn, from the old German "Steichen", both of which are verbs meaning "to stick" or "affix" some etymologists conjecture that centuries ago regulations to be observed at court (0(, possibly, in a barrack) were pasted or stuck to a support or wall and eventually became "I 'estiquet" (the rules of the day), whence "etiquette". In France to-day, however, the code of polite social conduct is generally termed the rules of knowing how to behave. In 'English speaking countries, such rules, whether they are guides for ceremonies or deal with ordinary social conventions such as setting a table, are generally classified as etiquette.
