Buckram is cloth that has been made very stiff, usually with glue or paste, then left to dry hard. In the past, people covered books with it, and they used it inside clothes and hats so that collars, brims, and jackets would keep their shape. The cloth is not born stiff; the stiffening is the point. You still hear the word from people who , make hats, or bind books. In a normal shop, someone might just say “stiff fabric.” Though actually, the buck at the front is not the animal. The name probably travelled from Bokhara, a city once famous for fine cloth.
硬襯布（定型用；舊時也做書封）
組成From Middle English bukeram, from Anglo-Norman bokeram, from Old French boquerant / bougherant (“fine cloth”), probably ultimately from Bokhara (Bukhara), a city in what is now Uzbekistan.
