Meaning of "quercitron" in English

Quercitron is a natural yellow dye that is obtained from the bark of the black oak tree, specifically the Quercus velutina native to North America. This dye was historically significant in the textile industry before the development of synthetic dyes. It was primarily used for dyeing wool and silk and provided a rich yellow hue. Quercitron was also recognized for its use in combination with other substances to produce a range of colors, from bright yellows to olive greens. The term "quercitron" itself is a combination of "Quercus," referring to the oak genus, and "citron," a nod to its yellow color.
