gauze
Gauze is a thin, translucent fabric with a loose open weave. In technical terms "gauze" is a weave structure in which the weft yarns are arranged in pairs and are crossed before and after each warp yarn keeping the weft firmly in place.〔Emery, Irene (1966). ''The Primary Structure of Fabrics''. Washington, D.C.: Thames and Hudson, p. 180. ISBN 978-0-500-28802-3.〕 This weave structure is used to add stability to fabric, which is important when using fine yarns loosely spaced. However, this weave structure can be used with any weight of yarn, and can be seen in some rustic textiles made from coarse hand-spun plant fiber yarns.
==Etymology and history==
Gauze was traditionally woven in Palestine and the English word is said to derive from the place name for Gaza ((アラビア語:غزة) ), a center of weaving in the region.〔Taylor, 2005, p. 288.〕 Despite a prohibition on trade with non-Christians from religious authorities in medieval Europe, a fine type of silk known as ''gazzatum'' was imported from Gaza as early as the 13th century.〔Garrison, 2008, p. 261.〕 Though members of religious orders in Europe were forbidden to wear it, the fabric won a place for itself and emerged into modern life as gauze.〔
According to the French government's online etymology dictionary, the English form of the word derived from the French ''gaze'', whose ultimate origin is uncertain, but is often attributed to the Arabic and Persian word ''qazz'' meaning "raw silk", which itself derived from the name of Gaza.〔 The same source says the existence of "an ancient textile industry in Gaza is not assured," and it is not known how the word entered into widespread use in European languages, with examples of first usages cited being the medieval Latin forms ''garza'' in Bologna in 1250 and ''gazzatum'' in Budapest in 1279.〔(Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales: GAZE ) 〕
