Jorge Jaramillo asked if the term "box pleating", as used in origami, came
from the same expression but in the realm of sewing.
I can't remember exactly where I read it but yes I had read somewhere that
the origami term "box pleating" came from fashion designing, refering to a

If you search the internet for “box pleat” the first results you’ll get are
from sewing and not origami. According to Wikipedia, in sewing, a box pleat
is defined as:
Box pleats are knife pleats back-to-back, and have a tendency to spring out
from the waistline. They have the same 3:1 ratio
