Definitions

  1. Rosin, a brittle resin from pine used in varnish, ink, and bow treatment.

Word origin

From Latin colophonia (“of Colophon”) resina (“resin”); named after the Ionic city of Colophon, which was known for producing hardened resin.

Used in a sentence

  • This resin or turpentine is a very interesting and peculiar substance, or rather series of substances. It is valuable because tar, pitch, rosin, and colophony are obtained by distilling it.
