%X In this work we intend to show the importance of the geometric book of Juan de Alcega, that is dedicated to a particular aspect of the handicraft activity: sartorial industry. The use of metrological terminology is the most important feature of the first Spanish book about this subject, as is an essential characteristic of Renaissance treaties relating to applied geometry. In particular, we focus on the analysis of lexical and semantic aspects of the term vara, and the processes of terminologization, experienced by the words media, tercia, cuarta, sexma, ochava and dozavo, divisors of that measure.
