[a. OF. tarse (1345 in Godef.); in med.L. pannus Tarsicus; formerly held to be the same word as Tarse, Tarsus in Cilicia (either because fabricated at or imported by way of Tarsus); but probably referring to Tarsia or Tharsia, described in Maundeville (xxiv, Roxb. xxvii) as ‘the kingdom of Tarse’, upon which the land of Cathay ‘marcheth toward the west’, app. Turkestan; hence prob. the same as tartar n.3, and tartarin1 2, q.v.]
A rich and costly stuff of Oriental origin, used in the West in the 14th and 15th c. Also cloth of tars.
