intinction noun the action of dipping the bread in the wine at a Eucharist so that a communicant receives both together. Origin mid 16th century: from late Latin intinctio(n- ), from Latin intingere, from in- ‘into’ + tingere ‘dip’. The word originally denoted the general action of dipping, especially into something coloured; compare with tinge. The current sense dates from the late 19th century.
