Khaki, in British or European parlance, is a type of light brown fabric with a green tinge, or the color of such fabric.
Khaki was derived from the Hindi/Hindustani loan word meaning earth-colored or dust colored, referring to the colour of uniforms introduced by the armyregiments in the 1880s.
"Khaki" has also become a common slang term in the United States Navy that refers to chief petty officers and officers (who wear a khaki-coloreduniform, also referred to as "khakis".) The word 'khak' is also the origin of a mild expletive ('cack') meaning excrement.
Gradually, all uniformcloths dyed such a shade were called khaki, although the fabrics included drill, serge, whipcord, with fast dye the chief requisite in every instance." Drill, serge, and whipcord are different weaves of various cloths, a common characteristic of them all being strength.
The encyclopedia further reports that the cloth was taken up by the Boy Scouts for their uniforms, a fact I had forgotten, probably since I didn't last long in that organization.
