Etymology

The term 'mordanting' derives from the root 'mordant', which comes from the Latin 'mordere' meaning 'to bite'. This reflects the action of mordants 'biting' into the fibers to establish a bond with the dye. The practice of mordanting dates back to ancient dyeing techniques when artisans sought to improve the effectiveness of natural dyes. Initially, various plants, minerals, and metal salts were used as mordants, depending on the desired colors and materials. Over time, the mordanting process evolved with advances in chemistry and dye technology, leading to the use of synthetic mordants in modern textile production. This evolution demonstrates the intersection of art, science, and tradition in the textile industry.
