Etymology

The word 'plush' originates from the French word 'peluche', meaning 'shaggy fleece' or 'downy fabric'. This term was derived from the Latin 'pilu-', meaning fur or hair. The meaning evolved over time to describe fabrics with a dense, soft pile that are used in cushions, upholstery, and clothing. The superlative form 'plushest' developed as the English language adapted French influences, emphasizing the highest degree of softness or luxury. As materials evolved and manufacturing methods improved, 'plush' began to represent not just fabric but entire products like plush toys, which became extremely popular in the late 19th century, adding to the word's commonality in everyday speech.
