Word origin
The word 'lather' has its origin in the Old English word 'lรฆรฐrian' which means 'to foam, froth'. It has been used in English since the 14th century to describe the frothy mass of bubbles created by mixing soap with water. Over time, the word has evolved to also include the action of covering something with lather, such as applying soap or shampoo.
