Etymology
The word 'plaid' originated from the Scottish Gaelic word 'plaide', which referred to a blanket or a length of cloth. In Scotland, plaid originally denoted a tartan cloth slung over the shoulder or a blanket. Over time, the term evolved to also describe the distinctive pattern of stripes associated with tartan designs. Plaid patterns have become popular in fashion and interior design, symbolizing a connection to Scottish heritage and traditions.
