dyestuff

/ˈdaɪˌstəf/ noun B1

a coloring substance

Word Origin Dyestuff is a compound of 'dye' (from Proto-Germanic for color) and 'stuff' — but 'stuff' originally meant raw material like flax or tow, from Latin 'stupa'. So dyestuff is literally the material you use to dye things. The word 'stuff' has come a long way from its humble flax origins to mean almost anything.
