Word origin

The word 'sooty' originated from the Old English 'sลtig', which means 'full of soot'. It has been used to describe things covered in or resembling soot since the 14th century. Soot itself is a black powdery or flaky substance consisting largely of amorphous carbon, produced by the incomplete burning of organic matter.
