Definition
A fine, smooth, lightweight linen or cotton fabric originally made in Cambrai, France, used for clothing, handkerchiefs, and fine garments.
Etymology
Named after Cambrai (Cameracum in Latin), a city in northern France that became famous in the 16th century for producing exceptionally fine linen. The fabric became so renowned that the city's name became the fabric's name across European languages.
Kelly Says
Cambric was so prestigious that European royalty demanded handkerchiefs made from it—the word itself became a status symbol, and people still use 'cambric handkerchief' in old literature as shorthand for refined, upper-class items.
