Etymology

The word 'seaming' originates from the verb 'to seam,' which traces back to the Old English 'sฤ“am,' meaning 'a stitch, seam, or joining.' This term has roots in Proto-Germanic *seamล, which also relates to sewing and stitching practices in other Germanic languages. The evolution of seaming as a concept correlates with the development of textile arts through history, where the joining of fabrics was essential for clothing and household items. As sewing became more sophisticated, the techniques and terms associated with seaming also expanded. In the 14th century, seaming began to be recognized in tailoring as an integral part of garment construction, setting a foundation for modern fashion and textile industries.
