Syllable Decomposition
écarlatefrom Old French escarlate via Medieval Latin scarlatum, from Persian سقرلاط saqirlāṭ, which denoted a precious, rather blue-colored fabric, decorated with seals, and which is derived from the ancient Greek σφραγίς sphragís (seal); or, according to the CNRTL, the Arabic version would rather come from a Medieval Greek σιγιλλάτος, itself from a Vulgar Latin sigillatus, this Vulgar Latin being made from the classical Latin sigillum 'seal' (diminutive of signum), and would have the meaning of 'fabric covered with seals'.
