tie| Narrow length of fabric worn around the neck, under the collar of a shirt, tied at the front and hanging down over the shirt buttons. It was developed in the 19th century and is considered an essential item for formal menswear. |
| The tie was derived from a wide band of fabric worn around the neck and folded or draped on the chest by men in the 18th and 19th centuries. Ties also became popular in women's fashion at the end of the 19th century. Another version of the tie is the bow tie which is mainly worn by men with formal evening wear. It consists of a short length of fabric tied into a bow at the front of the neck. |
tie| In musical notation, a slur or curved line connecting two notes of the same pitch (or a group of such notes in a chord), usually over a bar line. It indicates that the second note is not to be reiterated, but played continuously as one long note. |
