labret

Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   an ornament worn through a piercing in or near the lip; also the piercing itself

   The museum displayed a carved stone labret that had been worn below the lower lip.

Formed from Latin labrum ("lip") + -et, probably on the model of ornament names such as bracelet and anklet. Archaeology and ethnography use labret broadly for plugs, rods, plates, and other ornaments inserted through the lip.
