lac
Bug-produced coating material
Lac is a resinous substance secreted by lac insects, harvested primarily in South Asia.
It's processed into shellac, used for wood finishing, and historically for making lacquer and sealing wax.
The word also appears in lac dye, a red colorant extracted during processing.
In South Asian numbering, a lac (or lakh) equals one hundred thousand.
