Etymology

The word 'limed' comes from 'lime', which originates from the Old French word 'lim' or 'lime', meaning limestone, and is derived from Latin 'calx' or 'calcis', meaning lime, a white alkaline earth. Lime has been used since ancient times, dating back to the Egyptians who utilized lime in mortars and plasters. The application of lime in agriculture has been noted for centuries as it helps to improve soil quality by reducing acidity and providing essential calcium to crops. Over time, liming practices have evolved and expanded into various fields, including construction, where lime is used for its binding properties in mortar and as a stabilizing agent in clay soils. The verb 'to lime' thus takes on multiple meanings depending on the context, reflecting its significance in environmental management, agriculture, and construction.
