Don't see Nietzsche worrying about curtain fabric! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chintz

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fabric' is the definition.
(I know that chintz is a type of fabric)

'don't see nietzsche worrying about curtain' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'see' could be 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers) and 'c' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chintz that I've seen before include "Shiny cotton fabric used for furnishings" , "Printed and glazed cotton fabric" , "Glazed cotton cloth with printed pattern" , "Printed material used for, eg., upholstery" , "Printed cotton fabric for curtains or upholstery" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
