Etymology: Multicoloration is a compound of two parts, each with a Latin ancestor. The first, multi-, comes from Latin "multus," meaning "many," and works in English as a prefix attached to other words. The second, coloration, descends from Latin "color," meaning "hue," through the verb "colorare," to color, and the noun "coloratio," the act of coloring or the resulting tint. The compound is transparent: its meaning is simply the sum of its parts, many colorings.
