Pink rarely appears in nature, which is why it was first used as a noun to refer to a color in the 17th century. The verb "to pink" dates from the 14th century and means "to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern" (possibly from German picken, "to peck"). The color pink is named after the flowers, pinks, flowering plants in the genus Dianthus, and derives from the frilled edge of the flowers. Pink and white together symbolize youth, tenderness and innocence.
