Word origin

The word 'vinyl' originated from the Latin word 'vinum' meaning 'wine', and was first used in the mid-19th century to refer to a resin derived from ethyl alcohol. The modern usage of 'vinyl' to refer to a type of plastic material dates back to the early 20th century, when polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was first synthesized. Vinyl records became popular in the mid-20th century as a medium for storing and playing music. Despite the rise of digital formats, vinyl has experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years among music enthusiasts and collectors.
