Random information on the term “Chaperone”:
A chaperone (also spelled chaperon) in its original social usage was a person who for propriety’s sake accompanied an unmarried girl in public; usually she was an older married woman, and most commonly the girl’s own mother.
In modern social usage, a chaperon (frequent in British spelling) or chaperone (usual in American spelling) is a responsible adult who accompanies and supervises young people. By extension, the word chaperone is used in clinical contexts.
The word derives figuratively from the French word chaperon (originally from the Late Latin cappa, meaning “cape”), which referred to a hood that was worn by individuals generally. A chaperone was part of the costume of the Knights of the Garter when they were in full dress and, probably, since the Knights were court attendants, the word chaperon changed to mean escort. An alternative explanation comes from the sport of falconry, where the word meant the hood placed over the head of a bird of prey to stop its desire to fly.[citation needed]
