Adjective

Definitions
Noun
1

A cloth formed by weaving. It only stretches in the bias directions (between the warp and weft directions), unless the threads are elastic.

"The woven fabric stretched slightly when pulled diagonally across its grain, but remained stable along the straight lines of the weave."

In plain English: A woven is not actually a noun; it describes fabric made by interlacing threads, so there is no single-word object name for it like that.

"The basket was made entirely from woven reeds."

Usage: As a noun, woven refers to fabric created by interlacing threads that typically stretch only along the diagonal bias rather than straight across or down. Use this term specifically when describing textiles with limited elasticity due to their structural construction.
