Word origin
The word 'decal' originated from the French word 'décalcomanie', which in turn came from the English word 'decalcomania'. 'Decalcomania' was a decorative process popular in the 18th century where designs were transferred onto surfaces by pressing them onto specially prepared paper. Over time, the term 'decal' became more commonly used to refer to these transferable designs in various contexts.
