CALCIMINING Meaning and
Definition
-
Calcimining refers to a technique used in painting and decorating that involves applying a wash or coating of lime-based materials, such as whitewash or liquid lime, onto walls or ceilings to achieve a specific finish. This process dates back centuries and has been traditionally used to brighten and freshen up interior or exterior surfaces.
The term "calcimining" originates from the word "calcimine," which refers to the type of lime preparation itself. Calcimine is a mixture of powdered or slaked lime, water, and various additives, such as pigments or glue. It is often applied as a thin, milky coating, producing a matte or chalky appearance.
The calcimining process typically involves multiple steps: preparing the surface by cleaning and smoothing it, applying a primer to promote adhesion, mixing the calcimine wash or paste, and finally, carefully applying it with a brush or roller. The result is a distinctive, opaque finish that can vary in texture and color, ranging from white to different shades, depending on the pigmentation used.
Calcimining offers several advantages, including its ability to provide good coverage, flexibility, and breathability for the painted surface. It also has natural disinfectant and antifungal properties, making it ideal for use in humid environments or areas prone to moisture. However, calcimine is susceptible to wear and may require periodic touch-ups or repainting over time.
In conclusion, calcimining is a traditional painting technique that involves applying lime-based coatings to achieve decorative finishes, especially in the form of whitewash.

Etymology of CALCIMINING
The word "calcimining" is derived from the noun "calcimine", which comes from the French word "calciminer". The French term is a combination of the word "calcée", meaning "whitewashed", and "miner", which means "to color or paint". "Calcée" originates from the Latin word "calcis", meaning "lime" or "chalk". Therefore, the etymology of "calcimining" ultimately traces back to the Latin word for lime or chalk.
