**ambar is more “envelope” or “that which covers” than cloth in that aspect. **sanskrit has a very tiny vocab and the meaning of the word is often context-driven.

and khoji , you are just making stuff up about ambar not being in hindi until recently from sanskrit - ambar, ambaram mean sky/envelope in a whole bunch of indian languages. and even in hindi - digambar, shwevatambar etc have been around for thousands of years.

that’s why when Urdu borrowed this word, the ‘envelope’ became ‘chaadar’ which also covers a woman before Burq’a, women in the sub-continent used chaadar, just like Iranians still use it.
