teinture

The English bit MooreDoor (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

All I can find in English texts are a couple of italicised uses where the author is clearly intending it to be taken as a French term, and some advertisements for a hair dye called "Bond's Teinture". Someone called Wariston also apparently used the phrase "bill of teinture" to mean "bill of attainder", and this is quoted in a few places. I couldn't find Webster's claimed use in Holland.

OED doesn’t have an entry for it, but it may be a variant of tainture which does have an entry. OED notes that one sense of the latter is an aphetic variant of attainture (synonym of attainder). — SGconlaw (talk) 04:18, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

I confined myself to uses that did not use scare quotes or italics, and which did not include other French, and this is still fairly easily cited. Kiwima (talk) 20:14, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure how I missed all that... I was sure I searched for "teinture of". Sorry for the inaccurate analysis! This, that and the other (talk) 22:42, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
