Fringe entered English as frenge from French with the meaning: an ornamental bordering, consisting of a narrow band to which are attached threads of silk, cotton, etc., either loose or formed into tassels or twists.
In the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (c. 1400), the hero’s saddle had “mony golde frenges.”
By the seventeenth century, fringe, originally an ornamental border, could refer to any kind of border perceived to exist at the edge of something else, i.e.: the fringes of a circle and a thin fringe of timber surrounding the margin of a lake.
Figuratively, fringe came to refer to the edges of anything
- the fringes of greatness
- the fringes of repentance
- the fringes of a conspiracy
- the fringes of Edinburgh
In the nineteenth century, fringe came to mean what speakers call ‘bangs’: a portion of the front hair brushed forward and cut short.
