Etymology

The term 'stamped' originates from the Middle English word 'stampen', which means to stamp or to impress. This earlier word can be traced back further to the Old Norse 'stampa', which conveyed a similar meaning. The root of the word is linked to the Proto-Germanic *stampō, which also reflects the action of a forceful or firm touch. Over time, the definition of stamping evolved from merely making a mark to encompass the creation of various forms of impressions for functional, decorative, or legal purposes. Stamping has been a crucial technique in manufacturing, crafting, and official processes for centuries, highlighting its importance in practical applications and its evolution into a means of verification and validation.
