Etymology

The word 'tincture' originated from the Latin word 'tinctura', which means 'a dyeing'. It first appeared in the English language in the late 14th century. Originally used in alchemy to refer to the process of coloring or staining metals, the term evolved to encompass the idea of a solution or extract in medicine. Over time, 'tincture' also gained significance in heraldry to denote the representation of colors on coats of arms.
