Etymology

The word 'tufted' originated from the Middle French word 'touffe', meaning a tuft or clump of something. It has been used in English since the 16th century to describe things with clusters or bunches, such as tufted cushions or tufted birds like the tufted puffin. The use of 'tufted' to describe a soft, textured surface emerged later to emphasize the plush and luxurious qualities associated with tufts of fabric or feathers.
