Etymology
The word 'tampon' originates from the French word 'tampon' which translates to 'plug' or 'stopper'. It has its roots in the Old French term 'tempon' from the 16th century, used in the context of absorbing fluid. The term gained prominence in medical language in the 20th century, especially in relation to menstrual products and surgical procedures. The verb form 'to tampon' emerged with the medical application of using absorbent materials, leading to 'tamponed' as an adjective to describe areas treated in this way. The concept of tamponade also relates to providing pressure in various contexts, deepening its usage in both everyday and medical vocabulary.
