CALICO

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 6 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CALICO , a general name given to plain
cotton
  cloth. The word was spelt in various forms, including " calicut," which shows its derivation from the radian city of Calicut or Kolikod, a seaport in the
presidency
  of
Madras
 , and one of the
chief
  ports of intercourse with Europe in the 16th century, where
cotton
  cloths were made. The name seems to have been applied to all kinds of cotton cloths imported from the
East
 . In England it is now applied particularly to grey or bleached cotton cloth used for domestic purposes, and, generally, to any fairly heavy cotton cloth without a pattern. In the United States there is'a
special
  application to printed cloth " of a coarser quality than muslin." In England " printed calico " is a comprehensive
term
 .
