Derived from the combination of the Old English verb 'wascan' (to wash) and the adverb 'away' (from Old English 'onweg'). Originally appearing in technical and agricultural contexts in the 19th century to describe soils or materials easily eroded or removed by water, it later expanded to describe temporary products like inks, glues, or stabilizers.
