A one-page French dictionary entry on the fringe (frange) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It gives the etymology and definitions, including figurative, anatomical and ichthyological senses, then an encyclopedic note on how fringes are woven. Fringes are woven one after another with spaces left between them so that the warp threads, cut in the middle of each space, form the fringe; a side fringe is made from weft threads left free at the fabric edges. Illustrations show sample fringes, including an 18th-century example.
