Etymology

The word 'nonfading' is derived from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the verb 'fade,' which originates from the Old English word 'fēagan', meaning 'to withdraw or become less bright'. The combination of these elements in modern usage signifies materials or qualities that resist the natural tendency to lose color or intensity over time. Traditionally, fading was associated with colors changing due to factors like exposure to sunlight, washing, or aging. Therefore, 'nonfading' became a desirable attribute in various products, particularly in textiles, automotive paints, and graphic designs, as manufacturers aimed to address consumer demand for high-quality, lasting aesthetics. The term gained traction in the late 20th century with advancements in technology and materials science, leading to the development of innovative compounds that enhance the longevity of colors used in various applications.
