Definition
A preparation or size used in painting or gilding, typically a glue-based substance applied to surfaces before decoration.
Etymology
From French clair 'clear' + colle 'glue' (from Latin colla). The term reflects medieval artistic techniques imported into English vocabulary through French during the period of extensive cultural exchange.
Kelly Says
Medieval painters had specialized vocabularies for dozens of preparation techniques we barely know today—'clairecole' is a linguistic fossil from when artisanal knowledge was expressed in technical jargon that has largely disappeared with industrialization.
