Pattering: meaning, definitions and examples

The term 'pattering' derives from the root word 'pattern', which originated from the Old French word 'patron' meaning a model or a guide. This French term traces back to the Latin word 'patronus', which referred to a protector or sponsor. Over the centuries, 'pattern' evolved to encompass a more artistic and structural connotation, signifying a repeated decorative design. The verb form 'pattering' emerged in the English language as a way to describe the action of creating or arranging these designs. As such, it reflects centuries of artistic traditions wherein artists and craftsmen have sought to bring order and beauty through structured repetition in their work, whether in textiles, art, or architecture. As creativity developed, the idea of pattering came to represent not only the physical act of design but also the aesthetic intentions behind it.
