The answer
PAINT
What paint means
A liquid substance applied to surfaces to add color, protect them, or decorate them, typically drying to a hard finish.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *peinte*, past participle of *peindre* "to paint," descended from Latin *pingere* "to paint, draw, or depict." The Latin root may trace to an Indo-European base meaning "to mark" or "to decorate." English adopted the word through Norman French after the Conquest, and it has remained largely unchanged since the 13th century.
