Where did the phrase "wearing your heart on your sleeve" originate?
The phrase is said to come from a practice where young men and women drew names from a bowl to determine their valentines. They would wear chosen names on their sleeves for up to one week.
The term's first written record is in Shakespeare's Othello, 1604. In the play, the treacherous Iago's plan was to feign openness and vulnerability in order to appear faithful.
