- DerivationThe term cravatomancy is a neologism, a compound word derived from the French cravate, neck-cloth and the Greek μαντεἱα, divination, hence telling the future through ties. The ancients did not wear ties, as far as we know, so the term emerged when Sweder noticed the blue and yellow tie I wore on election day, 6 May 2010, and thought it foretold a Tory-Lib-Dem coalition.

A Duchamp tie, tied with a half-Windsor. I find Duchamp's ties, attractive as they are, do not stand up to repeated wear very well, and hesitate to inflict a full Windsor on them
