Origin:
late 15th century: from French fabrique, from Latin fabrica ‘something skilfully produced’, from faber ‘worker in metal, stone, etc.’ The word originally denoted a building, later a machine, the general sense being ‘something made’, hence fabric (mid 18th century, originally denoting any manufactured material). fabric dates from the mid 17th century
