The word "variegated" originated from the Latin words "varius," meaning "diverse" or "of different kinds," and "gatatus," meaning "striped" or "spotted." In the 15th century, the Latin term "variegatus" was used to describe something that had a varied or multicolored pattern. Over time, the word evolved into Middle English as "variegated," meaning "having different colors" or "multicolored." Today, the term is often used to describe textiles, animals, or plants that have a distinctive pattern of different colors or hues.
