Etymology
Dupioni comes from an old name for a coarse silk, probably from Italian or French, and a helpful way to remember it is to think of duo ('two') because the cloth often shows uneven, paired threads. So dupioni today means a silk fabric with a rough, uneven texture and small bumps that give it a special shine.
