Etymology

The term 'blueprint' originated in the 19th century from the process of creating architectural plans on light-sensitive paper coated with a mixture of ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. When exposed to light, the paper turned blue, hence the name 'blueprint'. Over time, the term has evolved beyond architectural plans to represent any detailed plan or strategy.

See also: blue, blueish, blues, bluish.
