Word origin

The word 'tint' originated from the Latin word 'tingere' meaning 'to dye'. Over time, it evolved to refer to a shade or variety of color. In the 17th century, 'tint' was used in the context of painting to describe subtle variations in color. Later on, it also became associated with the application of protective films on glass surfaces. Today, 'tint' continues to be used in both artistic and practical settings.
