OK, I looked it up.  It's an eponym, and I didn't know it.

The "woof" is one side of a loom.  The other is called the "warp."  On a typical warp-weighted loom, the pattern to be woven is determined by the warp, not the woof (sometimes called "weft").

I guess Tikkiee goes again.

Edited to add...no, as long as we're doing eponyms, I'll throw one out: "crapper."  (Hint here.)

Here's another one;
 
"boycott"

"Caterwauling" means screeching like cats.
