decal (dict)

DecalA decal or transfer is a plastic, cloth or paper substrate that has printed on it a pattern that can be moved to another surface upon contact, usually with the aid of heat or water. The word is short for decalcomania, which means "the fad of transferring tracings" and has the same root as calque. The other part of the word became "cockamamie", referring to the fakeness of tattoos produced by this process.
