Etymology
The word 'decal' derives from the term 'decalcomania', which originated in the 19th century. Decalcomania itself comes from the French word 'dรฉcalquer', which means 'to transfer a design'. The process was initially used for artistic applications, allowing fine designs to be transferred onto ceramics and glass. Over time, the use of decals expanded, becoming popular in various fields such as advertising, vehicle customization, and home decoration. In contemporary use, 'decal' has evolved to refer broadly to any design that can be applied to a surface using adhesive materials. The versatility of decaling has made it a favored choice for personal expression and branding.
