satin: satin: [14] Like many other fabric names, satin betrays the fabric’s place of origin, although only after a little digging. It comes via Old French satin from Arabic zaitūnī, which denoted ‘of Zaitun’ – and Zaitun was the Arabic rendering of Tseutung, the former name of a port (now Tsinkiang) in southern China from which satin was exported. Sateen [19] is an alteration of satin, on the model of velveteen.
satin (n.): mid-14c., from Old French satin (14c.), perhaps from Arabic (atlas) zaytuni, literally "(satin) from Zaitun," a Chinese city, perhaps modern Quanzhou in Fukien province, southern China, a major port in the Middle Ages, with a resident community of European traders. The form of the word perhaps influenced in French by Latin seta "silk." OED finds the Arabic connection etymologically untenable and takes the French word straight from Latin. As an adjective from mid-15c.
