Etymology of LAMINATE

The word "laminate" has its roots in the Latin word "lamina", meaning "thin plate" or "metal sheet". It was derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*lem-", which meant "plate" or "thin piece". Over time, "lamina" evolved into "laminae" in Latin, and eventually entered the English language as "laminate" around the mid-19th century.
