Meaning of "teazle" in English

Teazle, also known as "teasel," refers to a group of flowering plants often belonging to the genus Dipsacus. These plants are characterized by their tall stems topped with spiky flower heads, which have historically been used in textile processing to raise the nap on fabrics, particularly woolen cloth. The term can also be applied to the mechanical device that mimics this natural process. Although not as commonly used today, teazles remain a point of interest for botanists and textile historians.

Meaning of "teazle" in French

In French, "teazle" refers to the same plant, Dipsacus, commonly called "cardère." This plant is recognized for its conical, spiny flower heads and was traditionally used in textile production to card wool, enhancing the softness and texture of the fabric. Despite its historical importance, the usage of natural teazle has largely diminished due to modern technology. The plant, however, still garners interest for its unique appearance and historical significance in France.
