What suede means
A soft fabric made from the underside of leather, typically calfskin, having a velvety nap and commonly used for gloves, shoes, and jackets.
Where the word comes from
Suede comes from French *gants de Suède*, meaning "gloves from Sweden." The leather-finishing technique became associated with Swedish gloves in the 17th century, and the French shortened the phrase to just *suède*. English borrowed the term directly from French in the 1800s, retaining the name even though the soft napped leather is now produced worldwide.
