samiten.

Brit.

/ˈsamʌɪt/,

/ˈseɪmʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈsæˌmaɪt/,

/ˈseɪˌmaɪt/

Forms: Middle English samit, samet, Middle English samyt, Middle English–1500s samyte, Middle English–1500s samite, 1500s archaic samitte, 1800s archaic samit(e, sammit.

Etymology: < Old French samit = Provençal samit , Spanish jamete (older xamete ), Italian sciamito , medieval Latin examitum , exametum , samitum , samittum , < medieval Greek ἑξάμιτον (whence Old Church Slavonic oksamitŭ , Russian aksamit velvet), < Greek ἑξα- combining form of ἕξ six + μίτος thread; compare Greek δίμιτος double-threaded, as noun dimity n. From French the word passed into Middle High German as samit (modern German sammet, sammt, samt, velvet). Compare Middle Swedish examit. The medieval Greek name, lit. ‘six-threaded’, has been variously explained. Usually it has been supposed that the original ‘samite’ was woven of thread composed of six strands of silk; but according to Middleton in Encycl. Brit. XXIII. 210/1 it ‘was so called because the weft threads were only caught and looped at every sixth thread of the warp, lying loosely on the intermediate part’.

Obsolete exc. Historical.

1. A rich silk fabric worn in the Middle Ages, sometimes interwoven with gold. Also, †a garment or a cushion of this material. Also figurative, attributive, and in other combinations.
