Besides the fabric, the word flannel can refer to a washcloth, an
undergarment, or trousers, but here we are interested in its metaphorical
sense which apparently developed from the soft and smooth texture of the
fabric. The origin of the word flannel remains fuzzy. Two possible derivations
have been suggested: from Welsh gwlanen (woolen article) or from Old French
flaine (a kind of coarse wool, blanket).
