knitandpurl commented on the word vexillographic
"I relaxed. The Shakespeare vexillographic canon would be complete.
Interesting coinage, vexillology, 'the study of flags'. It dates only from the 1950s. The vexillum was a type of banner used by the Roman legions. It wasn't flown from the top of a pole, as modern flags are. Rather, its top side was fastened to a crossbar fixed across the top of a spear."
By Hook or By Crook by David Crystal, p 168
