Etymology

The term 'sprigged' originates from the word 'sprig', which dates back to the Middle English word 'sprigge', meaning a small shoot or twig. The association with patterns likely emerged during the 17th century when floral designs began to be commonly printed on fabrics. As textile printing techniques advanced, particularly during the Industrial Revolution, sprigged patterns became popular due to their ability to convey elegance and nature-inspired motifs. This type of design found its way into various aspects of fashion and interior design, reflecting the trends of the times. The continuous popularity of sprigged fabrics can be attributed to their versatility and timeless appeal, making them a staple choice in both casual and formal settings.
