n. 
tannin, tannic acid – WehrCowan1979. 
Rolland2014: From Fr tanin, derived from tan, with high probability from a Celtic *tanno‑ ‘oak’.

▪ Cf. also the etymology of Engl tannin ‘tannic acid, vegetable substance capable of converting animal hide to leather’, as given in etymonline.com : 1802, from Fr tannin (1798), from tan ‘crushed oak bark containing tannin’, probably from a Celtic source (such as Breton tann ‘oak tree’). The Engl vb. to tan can be traced back, via late oEngl tannian ‘to convert hide into leather (by steeping it in tannin)’, to mLat tannare ‘to tan, dye a tawny colour’ (c900), from Lat tannum ‘crushed oak bark (used in tanning leather)’. The meaning ‘to make brown by exposure to the sun’ (as tanning does to hides) first recorded 1520 s; intransitive sense also from 1520 s. Of persons, not considered an attractive feature until 20c.; in Shakespeare, ‘to deprive of the freshness and beauty of youth’ (Sonnet CXV). As an adj. from 1620 s. Related: G Tanne ‘fir tree’ (as in Tannenbaum) might be a transferred meaning from the same Celtic source.1
