• To stain wood — To treat the surface of raw or solid wood by applying a uniform layer of stain ('baiț') in order to alter its natural tint, highlight its fiber texture, or imitate noble and rare wood species.

• Wood staining — The act of wood staining and its result; the technical and aesthetic process of applying a layer of stain onto the finished surface of raw wood to alter its shade, highlight its natural grain, or protect the material.
