The answer
STAMP
What stamp means
A small adhesive label issued by a postal service and affixed to mail to show that postage has been paid.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *stempan* or *stampan*, meaning "to press or crush," possibly from Proto-Germanic *stampōn*, related to Old Norse *stöpva* and Old High German *stampfōn*. The sense shifted from the physical act of stamping one's foot to pressing a mark or seal onto a surface, then to the mark itself. The noun use (a postage stamp, an official mark) developed from the verb in the Middle English period.
