Word origin
The word 'pink' as a color has its origins in the Dutch word 'pinck', which means small. It was first used to describe the flower of the same name, the pink carnation. Over time, the color pink became associated with femininity and sweetness. In the early 18th century, the word 'pink' was also used as a verb to cut or perforate in a zigzag pattern, leading to the term 'pinking shears'. As a slang term for a naive person, its origins are less clear but it is often used in a derogatory manner to imply someone is gullible or foolish.
