Etymology

The word 'decal' is derived from the term 'decalcomania', which refers to the art of transferring designs from specially prepared paper onto another surface. The term originated in France in the early 19th century, where it was used to describe a printing technique involving transfer images. The abbreviation 'decal' became common in English and began to refer specifically to the images themselves, not just the process. Over time, decaling has evolved to include various materials and applications, allowing for increased creativity and personalization in art, advertising, and manufacturing.
