Origin of the word tissue paper

The word "tissue paper" derives from the French term "tissu," which means "fabric" or "textile." The term "tissu" was used to describe a type of thin, delicate fabric that was made by crisscrossing and interlacing threads. In the early 19th century, a method of pressing plant fibers between rollers to create thin, flat sheets was developed. Initially, these sheets were called "mulleneca" (molded paper) or "Chinese paper" because they closely resembled delicate Chinese fabric. However, in the mid-19th century, these sheets began to be manufactured on a large scale, and they were given the name "tissue paper" because they were similar to the delicate tissue or fabric made of interlaced threads. The term "tissue," combined with "paper," emphasized the paper's delicate and paper-thin nature. Today, tissue paper is widely used as a disposable product for various purposes, such as wrapping, packing, and wiping, due to its soft texture and ability to absorb moisture. The commercial production of tissue paper has become a thriving industry, with various materials such as wood pulp, recycled paper, and plant fibers like bamboo used to produce it.
