Etymology

The word 'plush' originated from the French word 'peluche' in the mid-19th century, referring to a soft fabric with a raised nap. It was commonly used in the textile industry to describe fabrics with a soft and luxurious feel. Over time, the term evolved to also refer to soft toys made from similar materials, leading to its current dual meaning.
