Etymology

The word 'lathering' originates from the Middle English word 'latheren', which means 'to cover with foam or lather'. The use of lather in washing and shaving dates back to ancient times, where soap or shaving cream was used to create lather for cleansing or preparing for shaving. Over time, the verb 'lathering' has evolved to also describe excessive or excited talking, adding a figurative meaning to the original literal one.
