Etymology

The word 'deodorant' has its roots in the early 20th century. It is derived from the Latin word 'deodorare,' which means 'to remove odor,' formed from 'de-', meaning 'from', and 'odor,' meaning 'smell.' The use of deodorants became popular in the United States in the 1880s when commercial products began to be marketed as effective means to combat body odor. One of the first commercial deodorants, called 'Mum,' was introduced in 1888. Over the years, various formulations and brands have emerged, leading to the wide variety of deodorants available today. Modern deodorants may contain a combination of fragrance, alcohol, and chemical compounds designed to neutralize odor and inhibit bacterial growth. The health and environmental impacts of these ingredients have led to a rise in demand for natural and organic deodorant options in recent years.
