Word origin

The word 'plating' has its origins in the Middle English word 'plate', which came from the Old French word 'plat' meaning a flat, thin piece of metal. Over time, 'plating' evolved to refer to the process of covering or coating objects with a thin layer of metal. The culinary usage of 'plating' emerged later, referring to the artful presentation of food on a plate. Today, 'plating' is commonly used in both metalwork and culinary contexts to describe the act of coating or covering with a thin layer.
