`
`Word History When the British stand in queues (as they have been
`doing at least since 1837, when this meaning of the word is first recorded
`in English), they may not realize they form a tail. The French word queue
`Erom which the English word is Uorrowed is a descendant of Latin codn,
`meaning "tail:' French queue appeared in 1748 in English, referring to a
`plait of hair hanging down the back of the neck. By 1802 wearing a queue
`was a regulation in the British army, but by the mid-19th century queues
`had disappeared along with cocked hats. Latin coda is also the source of
`Italian codn, which was adopted into English as a musical term (like so
`many other English musical terms that come from Italian). A coda is thus
`literally the "tail end" of a movement or composition.
