The term "shoulder strap" is commonly used to refer to a narrow band or strip of material that is attached to the top of a garment or bag to carry it over the shoulder. The origin of this word can be traced back to the early 19th century, when soldiers began to wear shoulder straps as a means of identifying their rank and unit. These straps typically featured embossed or woven insignia and were worn over the right shoulder, with the left shoulder being left bare to permit the use of a sword. Over time, the usage of shoulder straps expanded beyond military use to include various types of bags and garments, as they made carrying items more convenient and hands-free. Today, the term "shoulder strap" is widely understood in everyday language and is used to describe a variety of strap configurations including adjustable and padded straps, flat straps, and bolster straps that provide additional support to heavy loads.
