Tsolias, the rag-picker: We are preparing for the National Day and it is good to refresh our memory some words of the days that have been combined with the culture of the Greeks, but they are not Greek. One of them is Turkish word Tsolias. It comes from the Turkish çul (< αραβικό cull) και σημαίνει το “κουρέλι”, “το παλιόρουχο”. Κατά το λεξικό του Μπαμπινιώτη: “φαίνεται ότι η λέξη είχε αποδοθεί μειωτικά στους κλέφτες και τους αρματολούς (από τους Τούρκους) επειδή η φουστανέλα ήταν ραμμένη από πολλά μικρά κομμάτια υφάσματος). Η λέξη τσολιάς είναι ομόρριζη με τη λέξη τσόλι και τσούλι. Στα 24letters you will also read the history of the word the auspicious.
Fez, the one from Morocco: Contrary to what most people believe, Fez is not of Turkish origin. Its origin is from the city of Fez (hence the name) or Fez (Arabic. Fez Fa, french. Fez) of Morocco. Until the 19th century, the city of Fez was the only source for the traditional hats with the distinctive red color. In Turkey, the use of the fez was banned 1925. The same, Ataturk, characterized the fez as “decadent” and denounced it as “headdress of the Greeks”. 24letters
