Etymology
The word 'shower' originated from the Old English 'scur', meaning a 'cold or light rain'. It evolved in the Middle English period to mean a fall of rain, and by the 14th century, it was extended to describe the act of washing oneself under a spray of water. The use of 'shower' in the context of bathing became commonplace with the advent of plumbing and the installation of modern showers in the 19th century, revolutionizing personal hygiene practices. The term has since expanded to include various ceremonies and celebrations where gifts are 'showered' upon individuals, often as a gesture of goodwill, indicating the word's versatility in the English language.
