A type of traditional cloth or textile, often referring to a woven fabric from Middle Eastern or North African regions.
Origin uncertain, possibly from Arabic or Berber languages. The word may relate to weaving traditions in North Africa and the Middle East, though its precise etymology remains unclear.
Many textile words in English come from the regions where those fabrics were first made and traded—like 'damask' from Damascus and 'muslin' from Mosul—so 'fulwa' is likely a geographic souvenir in our language.
