Etymology

The word 'zit' originated in the mid-20th century as a slang term for a pimple or acne. It is believed to have derived from the German word 'zitze', which means teat or nipple. Over time, 'zit' became commonly used in English-speaking countries to refer to a small, inflamed swelling of the skin. The term gained popularity in the context of skincare and dermatology, where it is used to describe a specific type of skin condition.
