Solution:
Fine cotton made in India was exported to Mosul in present ,day Iraq by Arab merchants. European traders purchased this cotton and were impressed by the fine quality and called it “muslin”.
When the Portuguese first came to India in search of spices they landed in Calicut on the Kerala coast in south-west India. The cotton textiles which they took back to Europe, along with the spices, came to be called “calico”.
