Flagmaking

/ˈflæɡˌmeɪkɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The craft, trade, or process of manufacturing and constructing flags.

Etymology

From 'flag' plus 'making' (the gerund form of 'make'), combining Old Scandinavian 'flag' with the Old English verb 'make' and its '-ing' suffix. This describes the activity or industry of flag production.

Kelly Says

Flagmaking was historically a proud guild craft in European cities, with strict standards for stitching, dye, and material—some flags were so carefully made they could survive decades at sea!
