The word ‘Kilim’ has a Turkish origin and essentially alludes to a  pileless textile. The pile is essentially the rug term to portray the  outside of the carpet and its density. For instance, a Moroccan Berber  Beni Ourain carpet has a thick pile – it is a thick, soft, weighty rug.  In comparison, a Moroccan Kilim rug is level and thin.
