A variant spelling of caffoy; a type of decorative or patterned textile with raised woven design or metallic elements.
A variant form of 'caffoy,' possibly influenced by French textile terminology or Romance language sources, used interchangeably in medieval and early modern commercial contexts.
Medieval merchants loved variations in spelling because words traveled orally first, then got written down differently in each language—'cafoy' and 'caffoy' might be the same fabric described by Italian versus French traders.
