One way to hold this word: a sofa covered in printed cotton, roses everywhere, the colours a little too bright. Standing back, the room looks full and cheerful. Up close, the cloth is thin and the printing is flat — a lot of pattern doing the work that quality would otherwise do. That gap between the busy surface and the thin thing underneath is what the word keeps reaching for, long after the cloth itself has dropped out of the picture.
The source gives chintz plus -y, with chintz coming from Hindi छींट, the printed cotton cloth itself.
來源資料寫的是 chintz 加上 -y，而 chintz 來自印地語 छींट，指的就是那種印花棉布。

那塊花布，以及它給人的感覺
這一家就是核心畫面本身：先是那塊布，再是那塊布給人的印象。
adjective · C2
Covered or decorated with chintz — a smooth cotton cloth printed with flowers and other bright patterns, often used for sofas, curtains and cushions. In British English this is simply a description of the material.
印花棉布的
捨不得拿出來
這一家在來源裡走的是另一條歷史路線，不是從花布長出來的；只是今天寫法相同，而且都帶著「給得不夠」的味道。
adjective · C2
Not willing to give things or to spend money, even when you could easily afford to. Informal American English, and it sounds like a complaint about the person.
