レッテルretteru

1. nounlabel; sticker
   そして、こうしたものからほんのわずかしか隔へだたっていない知覚ちかくが、直接的ちょくせつてきな信号しんごうがまったくないのにおこる、「超ちょう感覚かんかく的てきな」というレッテルを付つけざるを得えない知覚ちかくなのである。↗

   And it is only a very short step from there, to perception which occurs in the absence of all immediate signals and has to be labeled extrasensory.

• SynonymラベルNeutralThe everyday loanword for a label, typically the slip on a product describing it; it lacks the figurative tone of 「レッテルを貼る」, pinning a fixed image on someone.
• Related荷札にふだNeutralA shipping tag bearing the sender's and recipient's details, attached to parcels and luggage; a single-purpose word, unlike 「レッテル」 with its mainly figurative use today.
• Related札ふだNeutralA wide-ranging word for a wooden or paper slip with writing on it, also covering tickets, protective charms and playing cards; far broader in scope than 「レッテル」.
• Related付け札つけふだNeutralA small slip attached to merchandise showing the name or price, close to 「値札」; its use centres on goods, whereas 「レッテル」 now turns up mostly in figurative phrases.
• Related下げ札さげふだNeutralA hang tag dangling from the item and giving its price or description, mostly on clothing; a merchandise term, while 「レッテル」 is now used mostly figuratively.

Use 「レッテル」 mostly in the figurative 「レッテルを貼る」, judging people by a fixed image. For actual labels say 「ラベル」; for luggage and parcels 「荷札」; for price tags on goods 「付け札」 or 「下げ札」; 「札」 covers cards, tickets and charms.
