gram stain: Staining technique for the initial identification of bacteria, devised in 1884 by the Danish physician Hans Christian Gram (1853-1938). The stain reveals basic differences in the biochemical and structural properties of a living cell.

Gram-positive bacteria remain purple because they have a thick cell wall that the solvent cannot easily penetrate; gram-negative bacteria lose their colour because they have thin cell walls that allow the solvent to penetrate and remove the dye

Etymology

() From Middle English steinen, steynen (“to stain, colour, paint”), of North Germanic origin, from Old Norse steina (“to stain, colour, paint”), from steinn (“stone, mineral blee, colour, stain”), from Proto-Germanic *stainaz (“stone”), from Proto-Indo-European *stAy- (“stone”). Cognate with Old English stān (“stone”). More at stone. In some senses, influenced by unrelated Middle English disteynen (“to discolor, remove the colour from"; literally, "de-colour”), from Anglo-Norman desteindre (“to remove the colour from, bleach”), from Old French desteindre (“to remove the color from, bleach”) from des- (“dis-, de-, un-”) + teindre (“to dye”), from Latin tingo.
