WHAT DOES ATRAMENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

atrament

Atramentum

Atramentum or atrament, generally means a very black, usually liquid, substance. For example, an octopus may emit a puff of atrament. In ancient Rome, the term atramentum signified any black colouring substance used for any purpose. The Romans distinguished three principal kinds of atramentum, one called librarium, another called sutorium, the third tectorium. Atramentum librarium was the writing ink of Roman times, atramentum sutorium was used by shoemakers for dyeing leather, atramentum tectorium was used by painters for some purposes, apparently as a sort of varnish. Atramentous is a related adjective which means "black as ink". Historically, to atrament something would mean to write something down with ink. The word atrament is related to modern English atrocious — both originate from Latin atrare which presumably meant to make something black. According to the pigment handbook, atramentum is a historical pigment or ink based on carbon black. Apelles is credited of manufacturing method for atramentum elephantinum from burning ivory.
