† tarstarsen.

Forms: Also Middle English tarsse.

Etymology: < Old French tarse (1345 in Godefroy); in medieval Latin pannus Tarsicus ; formerly held to be the same word as Tarse , Tarsus in Cilicia (either because fabricated at or imported by way of Tarsus); but probably referring to Tarsia or Tharsia, described in Maundeville (xxiv, Roxb. xxvii) as ‘the kingdom of Tarse’, upon which the land of Cathay ‘marcheth toward the west’, apparently Turkestan; hence probably the same as tartar n.³, and tartarin n.¹ 2.

Obsolete.

A rich and costly stuff of eastern origin, used in the West in the 14th and 15th centuries. Also cloth of tars.
