- O.E. sioloc, seoloc "silk," ultimately from an Asian word (cf. Chinese si "silk," Manchurian sirghe, Mongolian sirkek) borrowed into Gk. as serikos "silken," serikon "silk." The use of -l- instead of -r- in the Balto-Slavic form of the word (cf. Old Church Slavonic selku, Lith. silkai) passed into Gmc. via the Baltic trade and may reflect a Chinese dialectal form. Western cultivation began 552 C.E., when agents from Byzantium impersonating monks smuggled silkworms and mulberry leaves out of China. Silkworm is O.E. seolcwyrm. Figurative use of silk-stocking (adj.) for "wealthy" is attested from 1812. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
