Etymology of MAKEOVER

The word "makeover" originated from the combination of two separate words: "make" and "over".

The word "make" comes from the Old English word "macian", which means "to construct" or "to create". Over time, it evolved to encompass the meaning of altering or transforming something.

The term "over" has its roots in Old English as well, from the word "ofer", meaning "above" or "across". It has been used in various contexts to convey the idea of change or transformation.

By combining these two words, "makeover" was formed to describe the process of giving a complete or substantial change to someone's appearance, usually through means such as clothing, makeup, or hair styling. It has since become a commonly used term in the context of fashion, beauty, and personal transformation.
