Etymology
The word 'currycomb' has its origins in the 15th century, derived from the combination of 'curry,' which means to groom or clean, and 'comb.' The term 'curry' itself comes from the Old French 'currier,' meaning to clean or prepare leather, which reflects the grooming aspect associated with both horses and leather care. Over time, the currycomb became specifically associated with equestrian practices, highlighting its essential role in horse care. The design and material of currycombs have evolved, but their primary function remains the same: to maintain the hygiene and appearance of horses by effectively removing dirt and loose hair from their coats.
