Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The word "calico" is a generic name for all cotton-woven fabrics. The Portuguese first landed in Calicut (Kerala). The cotton fabric they brought back to Europe was called calico. It is the name of Calicut's cotton fabric, which is already available on the European market. Calico is a thick plain weave made from unbleached cotton and is usually not fully treated. It may also contain sections of the envelope that have not been segregated. The fabric is costlier than chiffon but less costly and thicker than canvas or denim. However, it is still very cheap due to its unfinished and non-fading appearance.
