NACARAT, is a term derived from the Spanish word _nacar_, which
signifies mother of pearl; and is applied to a pale red colour, with an
orange cast. See CALICO-PRINTING. The _nacarat_ of Portugal or _Bezetta_
is a crape or fine linen fabric, dyed fugitively of the above tint,
which ladies rub upon their countenances to give them a roseate hue. The
Turks of Constantinople manufacture the brightest red crapes of this
kind. See ROUGE.
