Fabric whose name may derive from its country of origin

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a small tribe of weavers who created cloth unlike any other. Their secret magical technique made the fabric strong, durable and light enough to wear for hours with ease. They called their creation “Chinoo” as they cornered the market on it and traded throughout the land.

As the years passed by, the tribe traveled far and wide, eventually landing in a region that is now known as China. The locals fell in love with the Chinoo fabric and started asking for it by the name of its origin – “Chino.” Eventually, the weavers adopted the new name for their miraculous fabric, so it wouldn’t be forgotten.

Today, the word “Chino” reminds us of the magical fabric created by those skilled weavers long ago and its journey from a small land to the far corners of the world. It’s no surprise that this trivia made it to crosswords across the globe as a testament to the legend of the fabric.
