chino

chino
chino type of cotton twill cloth, 1943, from Amer.Sp. chino, lit. "toasted;" so called in reference to its usual color. Earlier (via notion of skin color) chino meant "child of one white parent, one Indian" (fem. china), perhaps from Quechua ДЌina "female animal, servant." Sources seem to disagree on whether the racial sense or the color sense is original.
