It is also popularly used as a painting surface, typically stretched, and used on fashion handbags. The word canvas is derived from the Arabic word for cannabis -- hemp was popularly used to make canvas. The online etymology dictionary shows a more expanded etymology [1]: 1260, from Anglo-Fr. canevaz, from O.Fr. canevas, from V.L. *cannapaceus "made of hemp," from L. cannabis, from Gk. kannabis "hemp," a Scythian or Thracian word. Modern canvas is usually made of cotton. It differs from other heavy cotton fabrics, such as twill, in the way it is woven. Courtesy of Wikipedia
