[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The etymology of the term "diaper" traces back to the Latin word "diasper," which denotes rough and uneven texture.
“Diaper” refers to any small geometrical or floral pattern that consists of the constant repetition of one or more simple figure or units of design evenly spaced.
The term was initially associated with silk with diamond patterns later applied to linen and cotton fabrics of similar designs.
[13][16] The design's versatility in terms of textile materials received praise, and several other applications associated with the bird's eye pattern are worth mentioning.
In these cloths, bulbul chrshum was woven with a yellow warp and a red weft, forming diamond patterns.
