Semantic development?
"from Old English tēafor (“red, red lead, vermilion, purple; a material used in making salve; pigment, salve”), from Proto-Germanic *taubrą (“magic, sorcery”)" How did this semantic shift from magic to red-purple dyes/materials used in pigments and salves develop? seems tenuous.--Sigehelmus (talk) 14:11, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
