Quite untrue. The original meaning of gauze is italian. The 1279 Council of Baden banned clergy from wearing "black burnet, garzatum, and all other fine cloths",[10] and the term garças is known in Italian texts from c. 1250.[11][12] In 1678, Charles Du Cange suggested connecting garzatum to both gaze and the place name Gaza (Arabic: غزة ghazza),[13][14] and gauze remains popularly associated with Gaza.[15] However, there is no evidence for this beyond the phonetic similarity of the two words, which was enhanced by Du Cange's emendation of garzatum to gazzatum,[7][8] and no trace of a historical Gazan textile industry has been found.[9][3][6] According to Leif Wilhelmsen and James Murray, the words gaze and gauze are probably not related to garzatum anyway, because they first appeared long after garzatum had fallen out of use.(wiki)
