Word origin

锦 (jǐn, "brocade") + 旗 (qí, "flag") describes a flag made from fine patterned cloth, which explains its use as a formal gift of thanks or recognition.

Usage tips

  • The word often appears in formal reports about service, where the written praise on the banner matters as much as the gift itself.
