*’lint’ is the common name for ‘visible accumulations’ of ‘textile fibers’ + other ‘materials’, usually found ‘on’ + ‘around’ clothing*
.
(certain materials used in the manufacture of clothing, such as cotton, linen, and wool, contain numerous, very short fibers bundled together)
(during the course of normal wear, these fibers may either detach or be jostled out of the weave of which they are part)
(this is the reason that heavily used articles like shirts and towels become thin over time, and why these particles collect in the lint screen of a clothes dryer)
(because of their low surface area, static cling causes fibers that have detached from an article of clothing to continue to stick to one another and to that article or other surfaces with which they come in contact)
(other small fibers or particles also accumulate with these clothing fibers, including human and animal hair and skin cells, plant fibers, and pollen, dust, and microorganisms)
(the etymology of the modern word “lint” is related to “linting”, the term used for the cultivation of the shorter fibers from the cotton plant (gossypium), also called “lint”, from which lower-quality cotton products are manufactured)
.
(‘lint’ is composed of ‘threads’ of all colors, which blend ‘hues’ + may appear to be a ‘uniform grey’)
