Stamps

A last name

Stamps are small adhesive labels affixed to mail indicating postage has been paid.

Collectors prize rare stamps as philatelic items.

To stamp is to bring the foot down forcefully: She stamped her foot in frustration.

Stamp also means to imprint or mark: The clerk stamped my passport.

A stamp can be a device for making such impressions, or a characteristic mark: His work bears the stamp of genius.
