Where does the word "cotton" come from?
"Cotton," when used as a noun, appears in English by the late 1200s and comes from the Arabic qutn (قطن) "white fibrous stuff containing cotton seeds" though it may have an earlier Egyptian origin. When used as a verb, meaning "to prosper" or "to suit" (said of things), it may perhaps come from the Welsh cytuno, "to consent or agree," and first appeared in English in the 1560s. Charles Cotton, besides being known as the author of the second part of The Compleat Angler, was also a poet greatly admired by both Wordsworth and Charles Lamb. Carl Holliday wrote The Cotton-Picker and Other Poems in 1907.
