A textile〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Textile )〕 or cloth〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cloth )〕 is a flexible woven material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres (yarn or thread). Yarn is produced by spinning raw fibres of wool, flax, cotton, or other material to produce long strands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.textilemuseum.org/PDFs/TextileTerms.pdf )〕 Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or felting. The words ''fabric'' and ''cloth'' are used in textile assembly trades (such as tailoring and dressmaking) as synonyms for ''textile''. However, there are subtle differences in these terms in specialized usage. ''Textile'' refers to any material made of interlacing fibres. ''Fabric'' refers to any material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, crocheting, or bonding that may be used in production of further goods (garments, etc.). ''Cloth'' may be used synonymously with ''fabric'' but often refers to a finished piece of fabric used for a specific purpose (e.g., ''table cloth''). ==Etymology== The word 'textile' is from Latin, from the adjective ''textilis'', meaning 'woven', from ''textus'', the past participle of the verb ''texere'', 'to weave'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Textile )〕 The word 'fabric' also derives from Latin, most recently from the Middle French ''fabrique'', or 'building, thing made', and earlier as the Latin ''fabrica'' 'workshop; an art, trade; a skillful production, structure, fabric', which is from the Latin ''faber'', or 'artisan who works in hard materials', from PIE ''dhabh-'', meaning 'to fit together'. The word 'cloth' derives from the Old English ''clað'', meaning a ''cloth, woven or felted material to wrap around one'', from Proto-Germanic ''kalithaz'' (compare O.Frisian 'klath', Middle Dutch 'cleet', Dutch 'kleed', Middle High German 'kleit', and German 'kleid', all meaning "garment"). There are several different types of fabric from two main sources: manmade and natural. Inside natural, there are two others, plant and animal. Some examples of animal textiles are silk and wool. An example of a plant textile is cotton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Textile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
