I love that word. I remember embroidering the antimacassar and matching arm rest covers for our couch and chairs. The way I understand it is that Macassar was the name of hair "goo" that men used on their hair. So to prevent the oil from getting on the upholstery of the furniture, VOILA! an antimacassar! Someone has learned something new today, right??????
I love learning origins of words! Edie
