Word origin

The term 'plated' comes from the word 'plate,' which originated from the Old French word 'plate,' meaning a flat dish or sheet of metal. The concept of plating can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where metals were hammered into thin sheets and layered onto objects to enhance their appearance and protect them from corrosion. Over time, various techniques were developed, including electroplating in the 19th century, which allowed for a more uniform application of a metal layer. This advancement further popularized the use of plating in everyday items, from kitchenware to fashion accessories, reflecting both functionality and aesthetics in design.
