EN: indigo plant
Before synthetic dyes became the G.O.A.T., this plant was the OG source for that classic blue color in your *maong* (denim) pants. It's the natural, artisanal version of your blue food coloring, but for clothes.
From `tina` (dye) + `-an` suffix, with reduplication, meaning 'a plant that is like or a source of dye'.
Often used in botanical or historical contexts related to dyeing.
