Etymology
The word 'putty' comes from the Middle English 'poti', which derived from the Old French 'poutrรฉ', meaning 'to soften' or 'to fill'. The term originally referred to a soft material used in construction. In the 17th century, 'putty' became more specifically associated with a blend of powdered chalk and linseed oil, used especially for glazing windows. Over time, the usage has expanded to encompass various types of fillers used in woodworking and construction for repair and finishing purposes. The transformation from a general term related to softening to a specialized construction material highlights the evolution of language in relation to technology and craftsmanship.
