Etymology of CURLING TONGSES

The word "curling tongs" originated from the combination of two separate terms: "curling" and "tongs".

The term "curling" refers to the act of curling hair, which has its roots in the late Middle English word "crulle" or "curle", meaning a ringlet or curl of hair. This word was derived from the Old French word "croule", which had a similar meaning.

The term "tongs" refers to a gripping tool used to hold or lift objects. It has its origins in Old English, where it was spelled as "tangas" or "tange", which meant pincers or forceps.

When these two terms are combined, "curling tongs" refers to a tool specifically designed for curling hair.
