PLEAT Meaning and Definition

1. The term "pleat" refers to a crease or fold in fabric that is made by doubling or overlapping the material upon itself. It is a decorative or functional technique commonly used in clothing, textiles, draperies, and various other applications. Pleating is accomplished by creating multiple small folds in a regular and controlled manner, forming a series of parallel lines or ridges.

Pleats can be symmetrical, where each fold is of equal size and spacing, or asymmetrical, with varying sizes or spacing for a more dynamic appearance.

Etymology of PLEAT

The word pleat originated from the Middle English word plait in the 14th century, which in turn came from the Old English word pleht. Both plait and pleht had similar meanings of to fold, to braid, or to plait. The Old English word can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root *plehtiz, meaning fold or layer. This root can also be seen in related words in other Germanic languages such as Old High German phehida, Middle Dutch plachte, and Old Norse plestr.
