diamonds and slashes lifted from a Scottish clan's tartan, now warning the world you golf
means A pattern of solid diamonds overlaid with thin diagonal lines, classically knit into socks and sweaters in two or more colors.
from The name comes from Argyll, a region of western Scotland, and specifically the tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyll. The diamond-and-line pattern was adapted from that tartan into knitwear, and the spelling 'argyle' became the standard form for the design once it traveled out of the Highlands and onto golf courses and sweater vests in the early 20th century.
