Dear Doc
It's interesting that they say the Sanskrit 'citra' is the root word, because from my (admittedly not spectacular) knowledge of Hindi (and its primarily Sanskrit vocabulary), citra, or chitra, would mean a picture. No doubt it would be colourful, but perhaps the original chint or chintz was printed like a picture?
