Etymology of PATINISE

The word "patinise" is derived from the noun "patina". "Patina" comes from the Latin word "patina", which originally meant a shallow dish or pan. Over time, the meaning of "patina" expanded to include the thin layer that forms on the surface of certain metals, particularly bronze, that develops through age or exposure to various elements. This sense of "patina" was borrowed into English in the early 18th century. The verb form "patinise" was then created by adding the suffix "-ize", which means to make or become, to the noun "patina". Thus, "patinise" means to acquire or develop a patina, especially through the natural aging or weathering process.
