The word "carpet" originates from the Latin word "carpita," which means "to pluck" or "to gather," referring to the process of weaving or making textiles. It was later adopted into Old French as "carpite," and eventually made its way into Middle English as "carpet." Initially, the term referred to floor coverings in general, but over time, it became more specifically associated with thick, woven fabric used for flooring.
