Etymology

The word 'stained' originated from the Middle English word 'steyned,' which came from the Old French word 'estain' meaning a spot or blemish. The concept of staining has been around for centuries, with early humans using natural dyes and pigments to color or mark objects. Over time, the term evolved to encompass both physical marks and metaphorical damage to reputation or image.
