Etymology
The "sash" sense is from the "sablay" garment used by the University of the Philippines created by six professors from UP Diliman, as inspired by the malong of Muslim Mindanao, to be worn diagonally across the chest on formal occasions[1], perhaps named as such due to the sense of "to hang over" as found in the Visayan languages.
