The word "tweed" is believed to have originated from the Scottish words "tweel" or "twill," which refer to the fabric's woven texture. In the 19th century, a cloth merchant misread "tweel" as "tweed" in a letter, and the misnomer stuck, leading to the popularization of the term. Tweed fabric is commonly associated with Scotland and is often used in traditional British attire.
