OriginEarly 17th century (as chints, plural of chint, denoting a stained or painted calico cloth imported from India): from Hindi chīṃṭ 'spattering, stain'. Chintz was originally a painted or stained calico, imported from India. The source was the Hindi word chīmt, literally ‘spattering, stain’, which in English became chint. The plural of this unfamiliar word, being more frequently used, came over time to be mistaken for a singular and written chints and eventually chintz. The related word chintzy (mid 19th century) means ‘resembling or decorated with chintz’ in British English, but in America means both ‘cheap and of poor quality’ and ‘miserly, mean’.
