Origin and Etymology of the word
TAMINE.

|
From A Glossary, by
Robert Nares, James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps, Thomas Wright, 1901. |

TAMINE, s.
A sort of woollen cloth; probably the same that is now called tammy.
Supposed to be from the French estamine.
The men were apparelled
after their fashion: their stockings were of tamine, or of cloth
serge, of white, black, scarlet, or some other ingrained colour.—Ozell's
Rabelais, B. i, ch. 56.
The original is estamet,
which Cotgrave interprets "cloth-rash;" but estamine, which is
in fact synonymous, he renders, "the stuff tamine; also a strainer, searce,
boulter, or boulting-cloth; so called because made (commonly) of a kind
thereof."
