chiton
Ancient Athenian robe
A chiton is a simple garment worn in ancient Greece—a rectangular piece of cloth draped over the body and fastened at the shoulders.
Also, a chiton is a type of marine mollusk with an oval shell made of eight overlapping plates, found clinging to rocks in tidal zones.
The two meanings are unrelated.
