Etymology
In classical Arabic the word named a small slip of paper tied to goods to show their price or contents. Many scholars trace it to the Greek pittakion, a small writing tablet or label, likely entering Arabic through trade and administration. In modern usage the meaning broadened to any card, from ID cards to credit cards.
