editEtymology 2
editFrom German Tinte, ultimately from Medieval Latin aqua tīncta (“colored water, liquid”), from tīnctus, perfect passive participle of tingere (“to moisten; to dye, to colo(u)r”). First attested in 1869.[2]
Replaced plakk, an earlier borrowing from Middle Low German black (“(black) ink”). A native neologism mustlik (from must (“black”); compare Russian черни́ла (černíla, “ink”), from чёрный (čórnyj, “black”)) has also been attested, but has not reached widespread use. In the 1715 translation of the New Testament, the sense was translated as raamatu must (literally, “book black”).[3][4]

- 1964, August Alle, “Ruunat Pegasus [Gelded Pegasus]”, in Debora Vaarandi, editor, compiled by Ralf Parve, Väike luuleraamat (poetry), Tallinn: Eesti Riiklik Kirjastus, →ISBN, page 99:
- Olümbi harjal armetumat looma / ei elutsend kui Eesti Pegasus, / kes kõlbluskünast pidi tinti jooma / ja luule kohimehi üles tooma. / Sa vaene Eesti Pegasus!
