Etymology
Nasīj comes from the Arabic triliteral root n-s-j, the same root as the verb nasaja, meaning to weave. The word follows the faʿīl pattern, which often marks the result of an action, so nasīj literally denotes the thing produced by weaving. Arabic later extended the word to biology, where it names tissue, the woven-like layers of cells in a living body.
