Etymology
The term 'manicure' comes from the Latin phrase 'manu cลซra,' which literally means 'care of the hand.' The word 'manus' means 'hand' and 'cลซra' means 'care.' The practice of manicures dates back to ancient civilizations, where nail care and decoration were considered a sign of wealth and social status. For example, in ancient Egypt, both men and women painted their nails with henna, and in China, nail care was advanced to an art form, where the color of one's nails indicated their social class. Over centuries, the practice evolved, leading to modern techniques and the widespread popularity of manicures today as a part of personal grooming and aesthetics.
