Definition of merino
merinonoun
len merino
/məˈriːnəʊ//məˈriːnəʊ/The word "merino" originates from the Merino sheep breed, which is famous for its high-quality wool. The Merino sheep originated in the Merito valley of Spain in the 12th century. The breed was developed from local Castilian sheep and was bred for its soft, fine wool, which became highly prized for its warmth, lightness, and durability. The term "merino" was first used in the 16th century to describe the wool produced by these sheep. Over time, the term came to be associated not only with the wool but also with the clothing and textiles made from it. Today, the term "Merino" is often used to describe high-quality woolen products, such as clothing, socks, and blankets, that are made from the wool of Merino sheep or mimic the characteristics of Merino wool.
