Shoddy \Shod"dy\, n. [Perhaps fr. Shed, v. t.; as meaning
originally, waste stuff shed or thrown off; cf. dial. shod to
shed, and E. Shed a parting, separation, Shode a
parting.]

fibers, refuse woolen goods, old stockings, rags,
druggets, etc. See Mungo.

Note: The great quantity of shoddy goods furnished as army
supplies in the late Civil War in the United States
gave wide currency to the word, and it came to be
applied to persons who pretend to a higher position in
society than that to which their breeding or worth
entitles them; this term is now (1997) rarely used in
that sense.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
