[= F. poult-de-soie (also pout-de-soie), a recent alteration of pou-de-soie (1667 in Littré; in OF. poul de soie, pout de soye, 1389–94 in Godef. Compl.), of unknown origin, which was used in England in the form poudesoy from 1663 to c 1750: see paduasoy. After being disused for a century (exc. as consciously Fr.), it was re-introduced c 1850, in the current Fr. spelling, for a material identical with or similar to the 18th c. paduasoy.]
A fine corded silk; ‘a plain silk of rich quality in a soft and bright grosgrain make’ (see grogram); now most frequently applied to coloured goods.
