PLAID
What plaid means
A pattern of colored stripes or bands that cross each other at right angles, often used in Scottish fabric and clothing.
Where the word comes from
Plaid comes from Scottish Gaelic *plaide*, meaning a blanket or cloth. The word entered English in the 18th century as Scottish Highland dress became more widely known. The Gaelic term itself may derive from Old Irish *plaids*, though the ultimate origin remains uncertain. The pattern we now associate with plaid—the crosshatched design—developed later as a distinctive feature of Scottish tartan textiles.
