means A design made from one or more letters, usually someone's initials, combined into a single decorative symbol.
from From Greek 'monogrammon' — 'mono' meaning single, and 'gramma' meaning letter (the same root behind 'grammar' and 'telegram'). It originally referred to writing a word or name using a single character or interlaced set of characters, a practice that spread through Roman and Byzantine seals before becoming the embroidered flex on your cuffs and towels.
