The square academic cap, very commonly called a mortarboard (from the French mortier, a type of toque) or Oxford cap, is an item of academic headgear consisting of a horizontal square board fixed upon a skull-cap, with a tassel, or liripipe, attached to the centre. In the UK and the U.S., it is commonly referred to informally in conjunction with an academic gown worn as a cap and gown.
