Etymology

The word 'sheer' originates from the Old English term 'scēar', which means thin or clear. Over time, 'sheer' evolved in Middle English as 'shere' or 'sheere', referring specifically to transparency and fineness of materials. It has been used to describe fabrics since at least the 16th century, when lighter textiles became fashionable in clothing and coverings. The connotation of delicacy and lightness associated with the term has remained consistent, and it continues to be a popular descriptor for fabrics in modern fashion and interior design. The transition from Old English to its current form reflects broader changes in the way fabrics are perceived and used in society, especially in the context of aesthetics and style.
