Etymology of STENCILS

The word "stencil" originated from the Old French term "estanchele" (spelled "estancille" in Middle French). This ultimately comes from the Latin word "stannum", meaning "tin". In medieval times, stencils were made by cutting designs on a sheet of tin, hence the connection to the Latin term. Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the word evolved into "stencil" as we know it today.
