3. I also, incidentally, love etymologies and so my favourite thing about corduroy itself is that its name looks like it should comes from "corde du roi", or "the king's fabric".

- corduroy (n.) "thick, cotton stuff with a corded or ridged surface," 1774, probably from cord + obsolete 17c. duroy, name of a coarse fabric made in England, which is of unknown origin. Folk etymology is from *corde du roi "the king's cord," but this is not attested in French, where the term for the cloth was velours à côtes. As an adjective from 1789. Applied in U.S. to a road of logs across swampy ground (1780s) on similarity of appearance.
