Word origin
The term periwig originated from the French word 'perruque' which means wig. Wigs were commonly worn by men in the 17th and 18th centuries as a symbol of status and fashion. The periwig fell out of fashion as natural hairstyles became more popular in the 19th century. Today, periwig is mainly used in historical contexts or theatrical performances.
