ABSTRACT:

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the term textile is derived from the Latin word texere (to weave). It originally applied only to woven fabrics but has recently become a general term for fiber, yarn and other materials that can be made into a fabric. The term is also used for fabrics produced by interlacing or any other construction method, e.g., thread, cords, ropes, braids, laces, embroidery, nets, and fabrics made by weaving, knitting, bonding, felting, etc.
