Definition
The short fibers removed during the processing of flax or hemp, or a card game term where a player loses all their bets.
Etymology
From French and Spanish origins related to fiber processing and possibly from card game terminology in European gambling.
Kelly Says
The word shows how specialized industrial vocabulary was precise about exactly which fibers were which—something that mattered enormously to cloth makers before synthetic materials existed.
