linen

of uncertain (perhaps foreign) origin; byssos, i.e. bleached linen (the cloth or a garment of it):--(fine) linen (cloth).

perhaps from בָּדַד (in the sense of divided fibres); flaxen thread or yarn; hence, a linen garment; linen.

from an unused root meaning to envelop; a wrapper, i.e. shirt; fine linen, sheet.
