paduasoy|ˈpædjuːəsɔɪ|
Forms: α. 7–8 poudesoy, (7 poodesoy, 8 pudisway). β. 7– paduasoy; 8 paduasuay, (paddi-, pattissway), pada-, padesoy, 9 padusoy.
[Poudesoy (poodesoy, pudisway) is F. pou-de-soie (1667 Littré), pout de soye, poul de soie (1389– 94 in Godef. Compl.), of unascertained origin; in recent F. spelt pout-de-soie and poult-de-soie, the latter also in 19th c. English. The forms in -sway, -suay represent the 17–18th c. F. pronunciation of soie as soè, souè, souê; the rimes show this still in 1730 when the spelling was paduasoy. Paduasoy is, in appearance, a combination of Padua, Eng. name of the Italian city + F. soie silk. (Padua has long had manufactures of silk and other textiles, and a kind of narrow silk ribbon is thence named in F. padou, in 1642 padoüe: Oudinot). But Padua soy could not well be of Eng. formation, since soy, soye, soie, was never in Eng. use. Nor could it originate in French, where ‘Padua silk’ would be soie de Padoue, not Padoue soie. The probability then is that paduasoy was an Eng. corruption of pou-de-soie or poudesoy, app. by association with Padua say, a kind of say or serge, actually from Padua, which had been known in England since 1633 or earlier:
