The term "brocading" is derived from the verb "brocade", which dates back to the late 16th century. The word "brocade" comes from the Italian "broccato", which means "embossed cloth" or "figured fabric". The Italian term, in turn, originated from the past participle of the verb "broccare", meaning "to prick". This is in reference to the raised patterns often seen in brocaded fabrics, which resemble pricked or embossed designs. Over time, "brocading" became the gerund form of "brocade", used to describe the act of producing or creating brocade patterns on textiles.
