stamp

Affixed mail payment

A stamp is a small adhesive label affixed to mail indicating postage has been paid, or a device for impressing a mark on a surface: a rubber stamp, a date stamp.

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

To stamp something out is to extinguish or eradicate it: efforts to stamp out corruption.

A stamp of approval signals official endorsement.

Something that bears someone's stamp shows their characteristic influence or style.
