texture

noun tehks-TOO-rah Rare

Origin: From Latin textura (weaving).

Usage Note

Textura covers both tactile texture (how a surface feels) and visual texture in art and design. In cooking, textura is used extensively in modern Spanish gastronomy — Ferran Adrià's cuisine famously plays with unexpected texturas. The adjective texturizado (textured) is common in fabric and food labelling.

Natural Translation
