Etymology
Ṭirāz entered Arabic from Persian ṭirāz (طراز), a word tied to embroidery and fine ornamented cloth. Under early Islamic rule, tiraz became the name for royal workshops that wove or stamped inscriptions onto ceremonial robes given out by caliphs and sultans. Over time the word's sense widened from a specific textile mark to style, type, or model in general, the meaning it carries in Arabic today.
