Tincture derives from the same root as
tint and
tinge—the Latin verb
tingere, meaning "to moisten or dip."
Tincture specifically derives via Middle English from the Latin
tinctus, the past participle of
tingere. When the word first appeared in English in the 14th century,
tincture
referred to a coloring matter or dye, but by the 17th century the word
had acquired a number of additional
meanings, including "a slight
infusion or trace of something."
Tinge and
shade are two other words referring to color that can be used the same way.
Tincture can also refer, among other things, to the colors used in a coat of arms or an herbal or medicinal solution.
