Mordanted is a term used to describe the process of treating fabric with a substance, such as metal salts, to enhance its ability to retain dye. Although not a commonly used term in everyday vocabulary, there are several synonyms that can be used to describe this process. Some of these synonyms include impregnated, infused, primed, pre-treated, saturated, and seasoned. Each of these words describes the same process of preparing fabric for dyeing by adding chemicals or other substances that improve its ability to retain the dye. While not interchangeable in all contexts, using synonyms can help to add variety and depth to written or verbal communication.
