In medieval times, a handkerchief was often referred to as a "kerchief," derived from the French term "couvre-chef," meaning "cover head." It was typically made of linen or silk and used for various purposes, including wiping the face or hands. The term "handkerchief" itself combines "hand" and "kerchief," indicating its use specifically for the hands.
