Etymology of SANDERSWOOD

The word "sanderswood" is derived from the combination of two words: "sanders" and "wood".

1. "Sanders" refers to a reddish-brown dye or pigment, particularly obtained from the sandalwood tree (genus Santalum). It has been used historically as a coloring agent in various purposes, such as textiles, painting, and cosmetics.
