Round-robin is a document signed by multiple parties in a circle to make it more difficult to determine the order in which it was signed, thus preventing a ringleader from being identified.〔(Online Etymology Dictionary: Round Robin )〕 ==Origin== The term dates from the 17th-century French ''ruban rond'' (''round ribbon'').〔(Brewer, E. Cobham. Dictionary of Phrase & Fable: Round Robin )〕〔(Re: Round Robin ), Oxford English Dictionary cited at The Phrase Finder, September 29, 2002〕 This described the practice of signatories to petitions against authority (usually Government officials petitioning the Crown) appending their names on a document in a non-hierarchical circle or ribbon pattern (and so disguising the order in which they have signed) so that none may be identified as a ringleader. This practice was adopted by sailors petitioning officers in the Royal Navy (first recorded 1731).
