The term moiré comes from the French, where it originally referred to watered silk, a glossy cloth with wavy, alternating patterns which change form as the wearer moves, and which is obtained by a special technique of pressing two watered layers of cloth together. Note that the term moiré does not refer to a presumed French physicist who studied moiré patterns, as has sometimes been stated (either mistakenly or humorously; see, for example, [Coudray91] and [Weber73]). Therefore the term moiré should not be written with a capital letter.
