lemniscate

Any of several figure-eight or ∞-shaped curves.

lemniscate

The word comes from the Latin “lēmniscātus” meaning “decorated with ribbons”, which in turn may come from the ancient Greek island of Lemnos where ribbons were worn as decorations, or alternatively may refer to the wool from which the ribbons were made.
