A little bit about the history of Brazilwood:
"The word Brazil (Brasil in Portuguese) comes from the Spanish ‘brasa’ (and old French ‘braise’), meaning embers or glowing coals, from the colour of brazilwood. Brazilwood was first mentioned as a dye in 1321, sourced from the East Indies and India and obtained from sappanwood trees. This red dye was in high demand throughout the Renaissance; it was traded in powder form and it was difficult to obtain. In Medieval times, only sappanwood was available in Europe. However, in 1500 the Portuguese landed in South America and found that brazilwood trees grew in abundance along the coast. This tree was of such economic importance that the Portuguese eventually named the country after the trees found there. Brazil is the only country in the world named after a natural dye."
