The concept of facial tissue as we know it today was not developed until the 1920s. However, the term itself has roots dating back to the late fourteenth century, when it was spelled as tyssu. Over the centuries, the spelling of the word underwent various changes, including variations like tyssewys, tisshue, tyssue, tysshewe, tysshiew, tushwe, tischay, tissu, and tissew until the mid-1500s. The term originates from the Old French word tissu, derived from the past participle of tistre, which means “to weave.” This can be traced back to the Latin word texere (“to weave”), which ultimately stems from the Proto-Indo-European reconstruction tek, meaning “to produce,” through the Proto-Italic form tekso. The usage of the term “tissue” has shown a consistent increase since the early nineteenth century, except for a slight decrease during the 1930s.
