"tissu" meaning in Middle English

See tissu in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /tiˈsiu̯/, /tiˈʃiu̯/, /ˈtisiu̯/ (note: with stress retraction), /ˈtiʃiu̯/ (note: with stress retraction)
Etymology: Borrowed from Old French tissu, past participle of tistre. Forms with /ʃ/ do not reflect palatalisation of /s/ (as in modern English); instead, they exist because Old French /s(s)/ was perceived as being phonetically closer to Middle English /ʃ/ than to /s/.
