Meaning of shemagh by furoya





furoya

shemagh
  55

It is not a Spanish word, and it must obviously be Spanishized; it is one of the names for a pashmina-like handkerchief used in the Middle and Near East to cover the head and neck from the cold, sun and sand. It is widely used by the militias, but it also has political and social connotations. In the West it is used mostly by fashion. It comes from the Arabic 1588; 1605; 1575; 1594; ( yemaag ), and has other names that in many cases depend on color and design, or country of origin.
