Etymology
The word 'warty' originates from the Old English term 'wyrt', meaning 'a plant or herb', which later evolved into 'wart' to refer specifically to small growths on the skin. It has been used since the 14th century to describe the skin condition characterized by these protrusions. The term highlights the physical appearance of these growths, which resemble the rough and bumpy texture that can be found on various forms of plant life. Over time, the use of 'warty' has expanded beyond just skin conditions, often being used metaphorically to describe things that are irregular or unattractive.
