Origin of A1 at Lloyds

The word comes from the 1775 edition of Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping, which assigned a letter grade to the state of a ship's hull and a number grade to the condition of the anchor, cables, and other objects. By the early 1800s, the highest possible rating, A-1, had been applied to something of exceptional nature. This insurance ranking was quickly transferred to a variety of other regions, and it has been a cliché since the late 1800s.
