This article analyses the transfer that occurs between the lexicon of fabrics and that of architecture. As such, the article examines the close historical relationship between one technical field and the other, and explains the semantic reasons behind such transfer. The research is chronologically framed between the 13th to the 16th century, and geographically focused upon the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, because these are a time and place of great historical and linguistic interest for the stated objective. After examining the nature and functionality of certain fabrics pertaining to home furnishings, analysis turns to those words of Arabic origin that now belong to the vocabulary of architecture.
