A fine quality of cloth or textile, possibly a type of silk or damask.
From Cappadocia, an ancient region in what is now Turkey, famous for textile production. The -ine suffix indicates 'of or from.' Medieval merchants valued Cappadocian textiles highly.
Cappadine cloth was so famous in medieval Europe that it became a byword for luxury fabric—merchants would travel the Silk Road specifically to acquire these textiles!
