gauzen.

Brit.

/ɡɔːz/, U.S.

/ɡɔz/,

/ɡɑz/

Forms: 1500s Scottish gais (? 1600s Scottish gadza), 1600s–1800s gawse, 1700s gause, gawz, 1600s– gauze.

Etymology: < French gaze, of uncertain origin, apparently first recorded in the 16th cent. Hence also Spanish gasa, Dutch gaas. In 1279 ( Concilium Budense lxi, quoted by Du Cange) gazzatum is mentioned among the stuffs which monks are forbidden to wear. This is usually identified with French gaze, and Du Cange conjectures that it may have been named from Gaza in Palestine, but there is no evidence for either supposition.
