Origin Late 16th century (earlier as shash, denoting fine fabric twisted round the head as a turban): from Arabic šāš 'muslin, turban'. A sash is now worn over one shoulder or around the waist, but it was originally wrapped round the head. Between the late 16th and early 18th centuries a sash was a length of fine fabric twisted round the head as a turban, as in some Middle Eastern countries—the word is from Arabic. The sash in sash window is an alteration of chassis, which means ‘frame’ in French, based on Latin capsa ‘box’. Originally both French and English people pronounced the final -s of chassis. English-speakers then took this as a plural form and shortened it to form a new singular which became sash. Chassis was readopted from French in the early 20th century to mean ‘the base frame of a vehicle’. See also scarf
