Root Explanation

Finespun → It is formed from "fine" (from Old French *fin*, meaning delicate or subtle) and "spun" (the past participle of "spin", meaning to twist fibers into thread). The word "finespun" describes something that is delicately or intricately spun, often referring to fabric or ideas that are refined and detailed.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'delicate' ('fine') and 'twisted' ('spun') together — that's why finespun refers to something intricately made.
