doily
A doily (also doiley, doilie, doyly, doyley) is an ornamental mat, typically made of paper or fabric, and variously used for protecting surfaces or binding flowers, in food service presentation, or as a head covering or clothing ornamentation. It is characterized by openwork, which allows the surface of the underlying object to show through.
== Etymology ==
Doiley was a 17th-century London draper,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doily )〕 who made popular "a woolen stuff, 'at once cheap and genteel,' introduced for summer wear in the latter part of the 17th c."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Oxford University Press )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=doily&searchmode=none )〕 At the time, it was used as an adjective, as in "doily stuffs" or "doily suit." Later, usage shifted to refer to "a small ornamental napkin used at dessert," known as a "doily-napkin."〔
