camletn.

/ˈkamlɪt/

Forms: Middle English chamlyt, chamelet(t, Middle English–1500s chamlett, Middle English–1600s cham(e)lot, 1500s chambelot, 1500s–1600s chamblet(t, 1500s–1700s chamlet, 1500s–1800s camblet, 1600s chamolet, camelott, camlott, 1600s–1700s camelot, 1600s– camlet.

Etymology: apparently immediately < French: Littré cites chamelot 13th cent., camelot 16th cent.; Cotgrave translates French camelot , ‘chamlet’; Du Cange has medieval Latin camelotum ; Anglo-French statutes of Edward IV have chamelett , and the spelling with cham- was the prevalent one in English till after the Restoration. The ultimate origin is obscure; at the earliest known date the word was associated (by Europeans) with camel , as if stuff made of camel's hair; but there is reason to think it was originally the Arabic khamlat , < khaml ; Marco Polo (ed. Yule) I. 248 (Skeat). Khaml , khamlat , is explained by Lane as ‘the nap or pile or villous substance on the surface of cloth’; khamlat , by Johnson, as ‘camelot, silk and camel's hair, also, all silk or velvet, especially pily and plushy’. According to Littré, the Jrnl. Officiel of 1874, p. 3220/1, says camelot is so called from the Arabic seil el kemel , the Angora goat; compare camel-yarn n.

a. A name originally applied to some beautiful and costly eastern fabric, afterwards to imitations and substitutes the nature of which has changed many times over. ‘A kind of stuff originally made by a mixture of silk and camel's hair; it is now made with wool and silk’ (Johnson). ‘A light stuff, formerly much used for female apparel, made of long wool, hard spun, sometimes mixed in the loom with cotton or linen yarn’ (Ure). It is uncertain whether it was ever made of camel's hair; but in the 16th and 17th centuries it was made of the hair of the Angora goat.According to S. W. Beck, Draper's Dict., ‘In [the] production [of camlets], the changes have been rung with all materials in nearly every possible combination; sometimes of wool, sometimes of silk, sometimes of hair, sometimes of hair with wool or silk, at others of silk and wool warp and hair woof..Those of our day have had cotton and linen introduced into their composition. They have been made plain and twilled, of single warp and weft, of double warp, and sometimes with double weft also’.
