Etymology of BLEICH

The word "bleich" is a German term that translates to "bleach" in English. The etymology of "bleich" can be traced back to the Middle High German word "bleich" and the Old High German word "bleih", both of which also mean "pale" or "colorless". These Germanic roots are thought to have derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*blaikaz", meaning "light-colored" or "shining". Over time, the term "bleich" came to specifically denote the lightening or whitening of fabrics or substances through the process of bleaching, and it eventually acquired the more specific meaning of removing color from hair or making it lighter.
