A type of gauze-like fabric or weaving technique, possibly a variant spelling of gauze.
Possibly from Arabic gazz or related to the city Gaza, through Mediterranean trade routes. The term may be an alternate or archaic spelling of 'gauze.'
The word 'gauze' itself comes from Gaza, the city famous for its textile production in the Middle Ages—the fabric's name literally remembers medieval geography!
