英文詞源
gauze
gauze: [16] Many terms for various types of fabric come from the name of a place they were originally associated with, from obvious derivatives such as damask from Damascus to more obscure associations like denim from N?mes in France, and gauze appears to be no exception. It was borrowed from French gaze, which is generally assumed to have been named after Gaza, a city in medieval Palestine which was closely associated with the production of gauze.
gauze (n.)
1560s, gais, from French gaze, which is of uncertain origin. It has been conjectured to be from Arabic gazz "raw silk" [Barnhart], or from Gaza, Palestinian city associated with production of this fabric [Klein, Du Cagne], but Century Dictionary calls the latter conjecture, and there has been no evidence for either.
