Etymology
The term "pedicure" is derived from the Latin words 'pes' meaning foot and 'cura' meaning care. It has been used since ancient times, as various cultures have recognized the importance of foot care both for hygiene and aesthetic purposes. The practice of pedicuring can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians, who used various tools and oils for foot treatments. Over the centuries, it evolved into a sophisticated beauty treatment, with modern pedicures incorporating spa-like experiences that include massages and exfoliation. The rise of nail salons in the 20th century greatly popularized pedicuring, making it a common practice in personal grooming routines.
