Word origin

The word 'curvy' originated from the Middle English word 'curven', which means to bend or to turn. This term has roots in Old French 'curver', also related to the Latin 'curvare', meaning to curve. Over time, 'curvy' evolved into the adjective we use today to specifically describe shapes that have bends or rounded features. It gained popularity in the 20th century as discussions surrounding body image, beauty standards, and diversity began to flourish. With the emphasis on body positivity in recent years, 'curvier' has become a term of empowerment, advocating for the appreciation of varied body shapes in contrast to traditional ideals.
