[Derivation uncertain.
Yule and Burnell suggest a corruption of hybrid (Hind. and Pers.) palangpōsh bed-cover; which occurs as palangapuze in an Indo-Portug. Dict. of 1727. But Mr. Pringle (Madras Selections ser. iv. 71) suggests derivation from Pālanpur in Guzerat, ‘which seems to have been an emporium for the manufactures of North India’. Perhaps these words have been confused.]
‘A kind of chintz bed-cover, sometimes of beautiful patterns, formerly made at various places in India’ (Yule and Burnell).
