Batik is a traditional art form involving wax-resist dyeing on fabrics to create intricate designs. It's a technique where molten wax is applied to a fabric to prevent certain areas from absorbing dye, resulting in a patterned effect after the wax is removed. The word "batik" itself is derived from the Javanese words "amba" (to write) and "titik" (to dot), reflecting the process of drawing or dotting wax on the fabric.
