köken: From Middle High German vetze (“rag, tatters”), ultimately from the root of fassen (“to grasp”). Cognate with Proto-Germanic *fatą (“vat, item of clothing”), Old Norse fǫt (“clothes”), Portuguese fato (“clothing”), Spanish hato.
köken: From chiffe + -on. Chiffe is from Middle French chiffe (“cloth, old rag”) from Old French chipe (“rag”), from Middle English chip, chippe (“chip, shard, fragment”) from Old English ċipp (“chip, splinter, shaving”), from Old English *ċippian (“to chip, shave, splinter”), from Proto-West Germanic *kipp-, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵey- (“to split; divide; germinate; sprout”). More at English chip.
köken: Uncertain. Federico Corriente considers the Andalusian Arabic حَطْرَجْ (ḥaṭraj, “foolish”) that appears in Vocabulista in Arabico and that comes from the known root ه ت ر (h t r) (the same as مُهْتَر (muhtar, “disordered in his intellect”) in Lane’s lexicon).
a skint, chronically poor person behaving as such, having cheap manners, needy · a petty person · an impudent / insolent fellow; a person displaying exceptionally low morals or lacking in ethics
çekim: çoğul cındırlar · tamlayan cındırın
köken: Possibly a shortening from the original nominalizing reduplication of cırmaq (“to tear, tear apart”) - cır-cındır (“rags, rags and tatters”). Compare Turkish çındır (“sinewy piece of meat”).
a patch, a piece of any flexible material, used to cover a hole in something; such as a piece of fabric used over a hole in a piece of clothing · a small piece of paper; a slip, a note; often used as slang for körkort (driver's licence)
çekim: çoğul lappar · tamlayan lapps
köken: From Old Norse leppr, from Proto-Germanic *lappaz, *lappô (“rag, cloth”), of uncertain origin, possibly Proto-Indo-European *leb- (“to hang loosely”).

köken: From a dialectal German *Fleituch (“cleaning rag”), from fleien + Tuch. Compare attested Fleilauge (“lye for rinsing”, 16th c.). The underlying verb is from Middle High German vlæjen ~ vlöuwen (“to wash”), probably from the same root as Polish pławić.
köken: Native word, probably from fal (“to devour”) + -t (noun-forming suffix), presumably with the original sense “part, piece”. Doublet of falat (“bite”).
Uncertain. Potential cognates include Ancient Greek πῆνος (pênos, “web”) (from Proto-Hellenic *pān-) and maybe also πήνη (pḗnē, “woof thread”), and Gothic 𐍆𐌰𐌽𐌰 (fana, “piece of cloth”), Old English fana (“flag”), English fane (from Proto-Germanic *fanô).
