batiste
Batiste is a fine cloth made from cotton, wool, polyester, or a blend, and the softest of the lightweight opaque fabrics.
==History and description==
Batiste is a balanced plain weave, a fine cloth made from cotton or linen such as cambric. Batiste was often used as a lining fabric for high-quality garments. Batiste is also used for handkerchiefs (cotton batiste) and lingerie (batiste de soie).
In 1901 ''Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary of the English Language'' defined batiste as "usual French name for cambric" or "applied in commerce to a fine texture of linen and cotton".〔Davidson, Thomas, comp. ''Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary of the English Language''. London: W. & R. Chambers; p. 79〕
"Cambric" is a synonym of the French word ''batiste'',〔''Oxford English Dictionary〕 itself attested since 1590. ''Batiste'' itself comes from the Picard ''batiche'', attested since 1401, derived from the old French ''battre'' for bowing wool. The modern form ''batiste'' or ''baptiste'' comes from a popular merge with the surname Baptiste, pronounced ''Batisse'', as indicated by the use of the expressions ''thoile batiche'' (1499) and ''toile de baptiste'' (1536) for the same fabric.〔 The alleged invention of the fabric, around 1300, by a weaver called Baptiste or Jean-Baptiste Cambray or Chambray, from the village of Castaing in the peerage of Marcoing, near Cambrai, has no historic ground.〔
