     Of obscure origin;

      * Note : In the 18th century a name for a kind of coarse, thick-ribbed cotton fabric. It has been hypothesized that the word is a compound of cord as the name for a fabric and duroy, a coarse woolen fabric, but cord in this sense does not appear to be earlier than corduroy. Advertisements in the 1774 numbers of the Boston Gazette and Country Journal have cord, corduroy, duroy, as well as cordesoy and cordusoy (perhaps by association with padusoy, variant of {paduasoy|paduasoy}) in lists of fabrics for sale. The notion that corduroy is from French corde du roi, "king's cord," is fanciful.;
