Warpaint
/ˈwɔːpeɪnt//ˈwɔːrpeɪnt/The word "warpaint" has a straightforward origin, merging two existing words: "war" and "paint." The term first emerged in the 18th century, referring to the practice of painting one's body with colors or designs, often for a specific purpose, especially during warfare. It was initially used by European colonizers observing indigenous cultures, who saw these practices as a sign of aggression or tribal affiliation. While the term has roots in colonial observations, it has since become a general descriptor for any type of decorative body paint used for battle or ceremonial purposes.
