Etymology

The word 'conditioner' comes from the root word 'condition', which originates from the Latin 'conditio', meaning 'arrangement' or 'situation'. The term began to take shape in English in the early 19th century, initially referring to the act of conditioning or modifying something to maintain its quality or effectiveness. Over time, it evolved to refer specifically to products that condition hair and air. The first hair conditioners became commercially available in the early to mid-20th century, as the beauty industry recognized the need for products that could help manage and improve hair texture. Meanwhile, air conditioning technology was developed in the early 1900s, with the term 'air conditioner' becoming widely utilized by the 1930s as cooling systems gained popularity in homes and businesses.
