Derived from Middle English 'tisshe' (a rich fabric, from Old French 'tissu', past participle of 'tistre' to weave, from Latin 'texere'), combined with 'paper' (from Old French 'papir', Latin 'papyrus', from Greek 'papuros'). Originally referring to a thin woven gauze, the term evolved by the 19th century to describe extremely thin, lightweight paper resembling fine fabric.
