一塊粗呢,和用它做成的衣服
兩個意思是同一件東西的兩個階段:先是布,再是穿在身上的樣子。
noun · B2
A thick, rough cloth made of wool, woven from threads of more than one colour so the surface looks flecked rather than flat. It is used mostly for jackets, suits and coats.

Hold a piece of thick wool cloth up to the light. It is rough under your fingers, and instead of one flat colour you see small of brown, green and grey, because threads of different colours were woven together. That piece of cloth is the whole word. The second meaning is simply what happens when the cloth is cut and sewn: the clothes take the name of the material they are made of.
First recorded in the 1830s, probably from Scots tweel (the word behind English twill); a well-known Scottish story says an English merchant misread tweels in an 1831 letter as the river name Tweed.
這個字大約一八三○年代才出現,可能來自蘇格蘭語的 tweel,也就是英文 twill(斜紋布)的同源字。蘇格蘭流傳的說法是,一八三一年有位英格蘭商人把信上的 tweels 誤看成河名 Tweed。兩種說法都指向同一件事:這個名字從一開始講的就是織法和布。
