Etymology
The term 'textural' originated from the word 'texture', which comes from the Latin 'textura', meaning 'a weaving, fabric', derived from 'texere', meaning 'to weave'. The use of 'texture' dates back to the 14th century in English and has evolved to refer not just to physical fabrics, but to the qualities of surfaces and substances in various contexts, including art and food. By the mid-20th century, 'textural' began to be widely employed in discussions around visual arts, music, and culinary arts to convey a complex quality that engages the senses.
