What does 'crin 'mean?..

Answer / guest

Crin' is French for horsehair so the word crinoline
suggesting a crin lining was used for any garment area that
was stiffened to give shaped foundation. Strip hem linings
and a sleeve head are just two examples where crin was
used. Later by 1850 the word crinoline began to mean the
whole of the beehive shaped skirt. It was then only another
step to call the later artificial or cage hooped support
frame petticoats after 1856, crinolines.
