LACQUERED Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "lacquered" refers to the process or state of applying a coating of lacquer onto a surface, or the quality of having a lacquer finish. Lacquering is a technique used to enhance and protect the appearance of various materials such as wood, metal, or ceramics. It involves applying multiple layers of a highly durable, glossy, and transparent solution known as lacquer, which is typically made from natural resin dissolved in a solvent.
When a surface is lacquered, it undergoes a transformation that involves several key steps, including preparing the material, applying successive coats of lacquer, allowing sufficient drying time between layers, and carefully sanding and polishing the final finish. The result is a smooth, reflective and lustrous surface that not only enhances the natural beauty of the material but also provides protection against moisture, scratches, and other forms of damage.
The term "lacquered" can also be used to describe an object or surface that has been treated with this technique and possesses a lacquer finish. Lacquered items are often associated with the elegance and refinement often found in traditional Asian crafts, as lacquer has been used for centuries in these cultures for both decorative and practical purposes. In a broader sense, the term "lacquered" can also be used metaphorically to describe anything that has been given a glossy or polished appearance.

Etymology of LACQUERED
The word "lacquered" derives from the French word "laque" which, in turn, comes from the Persian word "lak" or "lakh". "Lakh", meaning "hundred thousand", refers to the resinous secretion from the Asian lacquer tree (also known as the "varnish tree"). This resinous secretion is the main component of lacquer, a highly durable and glossy finish used to coat surfaces. From French, the term "laque" entered English as "lacquer" and eventually gave rise to the word "lacquered", which describes an object or surface covered with a coating of lacquer.
