+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|texō|-ilis|t1=to weave]],^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) formed on ⟨text-⟩, the stem of the perfect passive participle.^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces [[m|la|texō]] to [[itc-pro|*tekse/o-]] and [[ine-pro|*teḱ-s-|t=to fashion]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ It is first found in Lucretius,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) who speaks of a woven covering (''textile tegmen'').^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Cicero has a woven coverlet (''textile stragulum''), and, quoting a poet, calls a poisoned garment a “woven plague”, which Georges and Gaffiot identify as the robe of Nessus.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913)^(Gaffiot 2016) The neuter was used as a noun, ''textile'', “a woven fabric”, and Livy has ''textilia'' for woven garments.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ It also meant “plaited, twined together”: Martial speaks of the plaited shade of a vine and of garlands of roses, and Seneca of a necklace woven with gold.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) British medieval Latin uses it of what is suitable for weaving and also of thatching.^(DMLBS) English took the noun as [[m|en|textile]] in the 1620s.^(Etymonline)
