corduroyn.adj.

/ˈkɔːdərɔɪ/

/kɔːdəˈrɔɪ/

Forms: Also 1700s corderoy, 1800s cord de roy, corde du roy.

Etymology: A name apparently of English invention: either originally intended, or soon after assumed, to represent a supposed French *corde du roi ‘the king's cord’; it being a kind of ‘cord’ or corded fustian. No such name has ever been used in French: on the contrary, among a list of articles manufactured at Sens in 1807, Millin de Grandmaison Voyage d. Départ. du Midi I. 144 enumerates ‘étoffes de coton, futaines, kings-cordes’, evidently from English. Wolstenholme's Patent of 1776 mentions nearly every thing of the fustian kind except corduroy, which yet was well known by 1790. Duroy occurs with serge and drugget as a coarse woollen fabric manufactured in Somersetshire in the 18th cent., but it has no apparent connection with corduroy. A possible source has been pointed out in the English surname Corderoy.

A. n.

a. A kind of coarse, thick-ribbed cotton stuff, worn chiefly by labourers or persons engaged in rough work.
