book flap; tab
Usage Note
Solapa primarily refers to the lapel of a jacket or coat, but it also names the inside flap of a book jacket where author bios appear. A related adjective solapado means 'sly' or 'underhand' — someone who hides things behind a smooth surface, just as a lapel conceals the lining beneath.
Examples
"Llevaba una insignia en la solapa."
Natural Translation
He was wearing a badge on his lapel.
