Etymology

The word 'sateen' originated from the Middle French word 'satin', which referred to a smooth, glossy fabric. Over time, the term 'sateen' came to be used specifically for a fabric resembling satin but with a dull finish. The use of 'sateen' to describe a type of rain is a more recent development, likely derived from the similarity in appearance between fine, misty rain and the smooth texture of the fabric.
