Etymology
The word 'bunion' originated from the Latin word 'bunio', which means a lump or swelling. The medical condition was first described in the 18th century and has been a common foot problem ever since. Bunions can be hereditary or develop due to wearing tight shoes or high heels. Treatment options include wearing comfortable shoes, using orthotic devices, or in severe cases, surgery.
