cuirass is not a greek word it comes from the French term for leather and the production of cuir boli (leather boiled).
The Greek word for armour is generally thoraxes but there are a few variations non of which are cuirass. I am fairly certain that the greeks were aware of cotton they called it 'tree wool'.
