Definitions

  1. Fabric made from flax, or household cloth items.

Word origin

From Middle English lynnen, lynen, from Old English līnen (“linen", "made of flax”), from Proto-West Germanic *līnīn (“made of flax”), from Proto-Germanic *līną (“flax”), from Proto-Indo-European *līno- (“flax”), equivalent to line + -en. Cognate with Latin līnum (“flax”) and thus also Linum. More at line.

Used in a sentence

  • “She put the freshly cleaned linens into the linen closet.”
