Etymology
The term 'launderable' is derived from the verb 'launder', which originates from the Middle English word 'launder', meaning to wash. The word 'launder' itself has roots in the Old French term 'lave', which comes from 'lavare' in Latin, meaning 'to wash'. As textiles and clothing became more prominent in households, the need for distinguishing items that could be safely washed emerged, leading to the adjective 'launderable'. Over time, with the advancement of laundry technologies and detergents, the definition has expanded to include various types of fabrics that can endure washing processes without deterioration.
