N: 1. textile (n): 1620s, from Latin textilis “a web, canvas, woven fabric, cloth, something woven,” noun use of textilis “woven, wrought,” from texere “to weave,” from PIE root teks- “to make” (see texture (n.)). As an adjective from 1650s.
silo (n): 1835, from Spanish silo, traditionally derived from Latin sirum (nominative sirus), from Greek siros “a pit to keep corn in.” “The change from r to l in Spanish is abnormal and Greek siros was a rare foreign term peculiar to regions of Asia Minor and not likely to emerge in Castilian Spain” (Barnhart). Alternatively, the Spanish word is from a pre-Roman Iberian language word represented by Basque zilo, zulo “dugout, cave or shelter for keeping grain.” Meaning “underground housing and launch tube for a guided missile” is attested from 1958.
