Plaid or Tartan?
Plaid's original
definition is 'as a woolen cloth having a checkered
or tartan pattern'. It evolved to mean any such
checkered or tartan pattern. Tartan's first definition
is a 'woolen cloth woven in stripes of various
colors at right angles to form a rectangular pattern;
also, the pattern and design of such a cloth'.
Both words were first recorded around the same
time, c. 1500.
