† stainandadj.

Forms: Also 1500s staynand, 1600s staynant, 1600s, 1800s stainant.

Etymology: apparently a present participle of stain v. (either northern Middle English or representing Old French desteignant).

Heraldry. Obsolete.

An epithet of certain colours. The precise sense and correct application are very doubtful, most of the successive writers having apparently copied from their predecessors with little understanding. The Book of St. Albans (quot. 1486 at staining adj.) seems to use ‘steining colowre’ for any tincture (whether ‘colour’ or ‘metal’) which presents a uniform tint in contradistinction to spots, etc.; according to this authority the ‘steining’ colours are the only ones that may appear on the shield of a gentleman. On the other hand, according to Legh (1562), ‘staynande’ colours are those which may not be used in armory; tawny or tenné, being the ‘surest’ of all the mixed colours, is the only one of them that is not ‘staynande’; we may perhaps hence infer that Legh took the adjective to mean ‘fugitive’ (cf. stain v. 2), or rather ‘indeterminate’. Guillim (1610) says that some heralds disallow the use of tawny and murrey (or sanguine) for fields, regarding them as ‘staynande’ (Ferne in 1586 speaks of these two as ‘stains’, not colours), but it is not clear how he interpreted the adjective. The later notion that staynand means ‘disgraceful’, designating tinctures that are used for the purpose of ‘abatement’, appears to be entirely unfounded.
