The word “cutch” refers to a type of resin obtained from the stem of the cutch tree, which is primarily used in tanning leather and dyeing textiles. It may also refer to a substance derived from the wood of certain other trees used for similar purposes. In some contexts, “cutch” can also denote a plant’s roots or the dye obtained from it. The term is less commonly used in modern English but may appear in discussions related to traditional dyeing and tanning practices.
