tarpaulin, orig. tarpawling, originally the weatherproof
sailors' dress seamen made on board. However, from about 1750 it became the description for the painted
canvas used for covering the
hatches of cargo ships and for the protection of other gear, such as the reels on which wire rope is wound, which might suffer from sea water in rough weather.
