- 1標語牌、告示牌（遊行時舉的那種硬紙板或牌子；不是牆上那張海報 poster，也不是長條布條 banner。）
A placard is a large stiff notice — cardboard, plastic, or a board — with writing or a picture on it, put up where people will see it or carried in the street. hold placards; shops hang placards in the window; a hall may put a placard by the door to say what is on. It is more solid and shoutier than a sheet of paper: you can hold it above your head. A poster is often stuck to a wall and may be pretty; a placard is there to announce or demand. A banner is usually cloth and long; a placard is typically a board. The word is a little formal and a little old-fashioned in everyday talk — people often just say sign — but news reports still like placard when they mean the boards in a crowd. There is a rarer verb, to placard a wall, meaning to stick notices all over it; the noun is the one students need.
組成From French, built like plaque + -ard: plaque is something stuck onto a surface, and -ard names the thing. Further back it comes from a verb meaning to paste or plaster.
