scarlet

Etymology
From, , borrowed from , from , of uncertain origin. This was long thought to derive from, but the Persian word (first attested in the 1290s) is now thought to be from , denoting very expensive, luxury silks dyed scarlet-red using the exceptionally expensive dye, first attested around the ninth century. The most obvious route for the Arabic word siqillāt to have entered the Romance languages would be via the Arabic-speaking Iberian region of al-Andalus, particularly Almería, where kermes was produced extensively; compare especially the dialectal form. The word then came to be used of woollen cloth dyed with the same dye. The Arabic word may itself be derived from, from.
