Varnish \Var"nish\, n. [OE. vernish, F. vernis, LL. vernicium;

glaze, from LL. vitrinus glassy, fr. L. vitrum glass. See
{Vitreous}.]
[1913 Webster]
1. A viscid liquid, consisting of a solution of resinous
matter in an oil or a volatile liquid, laid on work with a
brush, or otherwise. When applied the varnish soon dries,
either by evaporation or chemical action, and the resinous
part forms thus a smooth, hard surface, with a beautiful
gloss, capable of resisting, to a greater or less degree,
the influences of air and moisture.
[1913 Webster]

Note: According to the sorts of solvents employed, the
ordinary kinds of varnish are divided into three
classes: spirit, turpentine, and oil varnishes.
