Alternative forms[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Old French tissu, past participle of tistre.
Forms with /ʃ/ do not reflect palatalisation of /s/ (as in modern English); instead, they exist because Old French /s(s)/ was perceived as being phonetically closer to Middle English /ʃ/ than to /s/.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
tissu
