Sažetak

The proverbial phrase “wear one’s heart on his sleeve” derives from a line in Shakespeare’s Othello. It has taken on a variety of meanings and acquired variants in wording, most notably, the common substitution of an abstract noun for the metaphorical heart, and the frequent replacement of wear with hang or pin. The image of pinning to the sleeve has its own history, which antedates Shakespeare’s play.
