Arabic
Etymology
Presumably metathesis of مِدَقْس (midaqs) because of دِمَشْق (dimašq), compare English damask, unrelated to this fabric name, from Aramaic מיטכסא / מטכסא / מטקסא (məṭaqṣā, məṭakṣā, miṭakṣā), ܡܝܛܟܣܐ (miṭakṣā), possibly from Ancient Greek μέταξα (métaxa), which however is itself late, but there is also מטכסין (məṭakṣīn) which is either plural or from μετάξιον (metáxion). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
