Etymology

The word 'colouring' is derived from the Old French word 'colorer,' which means to give something color. This, in turn, comes from the Latin 'colorare,' formed from 'color.' The term has evolved over time, where 'colouring' in English predominantly referred to the application of color in various forms such as art and design. While the spelling 'colouring' is used in British English, the American English spelling is 'coloring.' The rise of colouring books and art therapy in recent years has revitalized the term, reflecting its significance in both childhood education and adult therapeutic practices.
