Etymology
The term 'currycomb' comes from the Middle English word 'cury', which means to groom or dress. This word is of uncertain origin but has been connected to the Old French term 'curer', meaning to clean or polish, and possibly to the Latin word 'curare', meaning to take care of. The -comb part of the word refers to the tool's comb-like shape. Curry combs have been used since at least the 16th century as essential tools for grooming animals, particularly horses, in both rural and stable settings. Over time, the term 'currycombed' has evolved to describe the act of using a curry comb on various animals.
