different between incarnadine vs incarnadined

English

Etymology

The adjective is derived from French incarnadin, incarnadine, from Italian incarnadino, a variant of incarnatino (“carnation; flesh colour”), from incarnato (“embodied, incarnate”) + -ino (suffix forming adjectives denoting composition, colour, or other qualities). Incarnato is derived from Ecclesiastical Latin and Late Latin incarn?tus (“having been made incarnate”), the perfect passive participle of incarn? (“to become or make incarnate; to make into flesh”), from in- (suffix meaning ‘in, inside, within’) + Latin car? (“flesh, meat; body”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut off”)) + -? (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs).

The noun and verb are derived from the adjective.

Adjective senses 2 and 3 (“of the blood-red colour of raw flesh; (figurative) bloostained, bloody”) and noun sense 2 (“blood-red colour of raw flesh”) are due to William Shakespeare’s use of the word as a verb in Macbeth (c. 1606): see the quotation below.
