Etymology

The word 'curvy' is derived from the Middle English word 'curven', which itself comes from the Latin 'currere', meaning 'to run'. The evolution of the term reflects the concept of something bending or changing direction, akin to how a curve is formed. It began to take on a more specific connotation in the 19th century, particularly in relation to physical shapes, where it was used to describe the contours of objects and bodies. The modern use of 'curvy' has expanded beyond mere physical description to include aesthetic qualities in design and fashion, celebrating diverse body types and round shapes as elements of beauty.
