Mortarboard
The cap is called a mortarboard because of its resemblance to a tool used by masons, known as a mortarboard or mortar board, which is a flat, square board used to hold mortar. This similarity in shape, along with the cap's association with academic traditions, led to the adoption of the term. The mortarboard cap is typically worn during graduation ceremonies, symbolizing scholarly achievement.
The mortarboard's historical roots can be traced to the mediaeval square biretta worn by both clergy and laity to indicate social status. As the affairs of the Church and academe became separated over the centuries, so did their hats. The biretta was modified and became the headwear of the clergy, and the mortarboard (or flattened square tam) became the hat of the academic.
Graduation clothing is traditionally called a cap and gown, which consists of a mortarboard hat and a hooded gown. These pieces are worn by graduates during commencement ceremonies to signify their academic achievement and completion of their degree.
