Word origin

The word 'dermal' originates from the Greek term 'derma' which means 'skin'. This root is used in various medical and scientific terminologies related to skin and its functions. The prefix 'derm-' appears in many compound words, like 'dermatology', which is the study of skin, and 'hypodermic', which refers to something that is under the skin. The transition into English usage was largely influenced by the development of medical sciences in the 19th century when specific terminology became necessary for the burgeoning fields of medicine and biology. As skin health and aesthetics became increasingly important, terms like 'dermal' found their place in both clinical and cosmetic parlance.
