Etymology

The word 'condom' is believed to have originated from the combination of two words: 'condus' in Latin, meaning receptacle, and 'domus' in Latin, meaning house. This combination refers to the idea of a protective covering or container. The modern condom as we know it today has evolved over centuries, with early forms made from materials like linen, animal intestines, and even tortoise shell. The use of condoms for contraception and disease prevention has been documented throughout history, with various cultures developing their own methods and materials.
