Definition of ironing

ironingnoun

ủi đồ

/ˈaɪənɪŋ//ˈaɪərnɪŋ/

The word "ironing" originates from the Middle English word "iren," which means "to temper" or "to harden." In the 14th century, ironing referred to the process of heating and shaping iron to make it stronger and more durable. Over time, the term evolved to describe the act of smoothing and flattening fabrics using heat and pressure, typically with an iron. The iron itself was invented in ancient Greece, with the word "iron" derived from the Greek word "eidos," meaning "to make firm or solid." The early iron were made from meteorites and were highly prized for their strength and durability. The technology of ironing has since evolved significantly, with modern irons featuring thermostats, steam functions, and anti-calcification systems. Despite the changes, the fundamental concept of ironing remains the same: to use heat and pressure to smooth and shape fabrics.
