Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Option A: weave - While weaving is related to textiles, it's not the direct meaning of the Latin word.Option B: textile - This option is tricky! It's the same word, but doesn't explain its origin.
Option C: fabric - Fabric is what textiles are, but again, it's not the meaning of the original word.
Option D: stitches - Stitches are a part of making clothes, but not the main idea behind the word 'textiles'.
