Question

(ii)Nametheoriginoftheword‘Calico’.

Answer 1

Answer:

Calico (/ˈkælɪkoʊ/; in British usage since 1505)[1] is a plain-woven textile made from unbleached, and often not fully processed, cotton. It may also contain unseparated husk parts. The fabric is far less fine than muslin, but less coarse and thick than canvas or denim. However, it is still very cheap owing to its unfinished and undyed appearance.

Answer 2

Origins. Calico originated in Calicut (from which the name of the textile came) in southwestern India (in present-day Kerala) during the 11th century, where the cloth was known as "chaliyans".
