Etymology
The word sequin comes from the Italian word zecchino, which was the name of a 'small gold coin' once used in Venice and originally from an Arabic word for 'coin'. Because those coins were shiny discs, the name later came to mean the little shiny pieces sewn onto clothes, so a sequin is like a tiny coin you wear.
