Etymology

The word 'silk' originates from the Old English 'seoloc', which was adopted from the Latin term 'sericum' and further derived from the Greek 'sฤ“rikon', referring to silk materials. The use of silk has a rich history, dating back to ancient China where it was primarily produced and traded. The process of silk production, which involves silkworms, was a well-kept secret that significantly contributed to China's economy. As trade routes expanded, silk gained popularity in various regions, leading to its synonymity with luxury and elegance in textiles. The term 'silked' probably emerged later as the crafting of textiles evolved, applying to objects or garments that evoke the same luxurious quality as silk itself. Today, 'silked' encapsulates not just the texture but also the feelings of softness and sophistication associated with silk-branded products.
