The term protocol is derived, via French and Medieval Latin, from the Greek word
πρωτόκολλον protokollon "first glued sheet of or onto a papyrus-roll". This comes
from the act of gluing a sheet of paper to the front of a document to preserve
it when it was sealed, which imparted additional authenticity to it.
For a start, protocol might be defined in two different
ways. On the one hand, it is a set of rules of formality that govern the
diplomatic and official acts and ceremonies or normative. On the other hand,
though, it could be also referred as a set of rules of courtesy that are
followed in social relations and have been established through habit.
It also should be known the difference between
protocol and procedures. Basically, a protocol is a set of rules under which
the procedure should be done, or rather procedure should be done by protocol.
