Definition of undefined

The word "mink" has its origin in the Old English "minca" or "minco", which referred to the European mink (Mustela lutreola). The term was later adapted into Middle English as "mynk" or "mync", and was used to describe both the animal and its fur. The fur of the mink was considered to be highly valuable, and the word "mink" became associated with the textile industry. In the 16th century, the term "mink" was used to describe a lightweight, soft, and warm fur fabric, often made from the fur of the European mink or other species of mink. Today, the word "mink" is still used to describe the animal, as well as the fabric made from its fur. Mink fur is highly prized for its softness, warmth, and moisture-wicking properties, making it a popular choice for clothing and accessories.
