Etymology
Doc names a tightly woven, hard-wearing cotton fabric used for work clothes, overalls, and uniforms, comparable to what English calls duck or drill cloth. It entered Romanian as a loanword tied to the growth of the textile and garment industry in the 19th and 20th centuries. Sources disagree on the exact donor language, so the precise path into Romanian is not settled.
