The word root for carpet actually seems to come from Indo-European kerp that meant to "pluck" or "gather." The word seems also to be related to the Latin word for "carding wool", so the thinking is that the original fabrics that were called carpets were made of the unravelled pieces of other woven cloth and reused.
