A variant spelling of bocasine; a type of linen or cotton fabric with a crosshatch weave pattern.
From French or Italian 'bocasine,' possibly from 'bocacci' (a type of cloth); used in textile trades for describing specific weave patterns.
Bocasin represents how textile names often got confused and multiple spellings developed as cloth traders moved between countries—similar words ended up describing slightly different fabrics depending on which language and trade route you were on!
