Definitions
Rough leather or hide, traditionally from shark or ray skin.
Word origin
First use appears c. 1677, an Anglicized form of chagrin, from French chagrin, from Ottoman Turkish صاغری (modern Turkish sağrı). However, the etymology of French chagrin is complex and disputed, and likely of Germanic origin. Whether there was any influence between an existing French word of Germanic origin and a Turkish loan is unclear.
