Etymology of GROOMING

The word "grooming" has roots in the Old English language. It comes from the Old English word "grom", which means "youth" or "boy". In medieval times, a "grom" specifically referred to a male child or a servant attending to a knight or nobleman. Over time, "grom" evolved into "groom", which denoted a male servant attending to horses. In the 17th century, the term "grooming" emerged as a verb to describe the act of cleaning, tending to, or caring for horses. Eventually, its meaning expanded to include personal care and preparation. Nowadays, "grooming" encompasses various activities like personal hygiene, styling, and the care of one's appearance across multiple contexts.
