Meaning and Origin:
Woad is a plant species, Isatis tinctoria, that has been used for centuries to produce a deep indigo blue dye. The woad plant is native to the Mediterranean region but was introduced to Britain by the Celts.
The blue dye produced from woad was highly prized in ancient times, and it was used to color fabrics and textiles for both practical and decorative purposes. Woad was particularly important in the production of Celtic textiles, such as those found at the La Tène site in Switzerland.
Woad cultivation flourished in Britain during the Roman period, and it remained an important crop in Europe until the 19th century when synthetic indigo dyes replaced natural dyes. Today, woad is still grown in small quantities for use in natural dyeing and other applications.
