A cosmetics brand name, also the French word for clinic. A medical facility or beauty treatment center.
From French 'clinique,' derived from Greek 'klinikos' meaning 'of the bed,' from 'kline' meaning 'bed.' Originally referred to medical instruction at a patient's bedside.
The famous cosmetics brand Clinique deliberately chose this medical-sounding name in 1968 to suggest scientific precision and dermatological expertise! The connection between medicine and beauty isn't coincidental—many cosmetic innovations actually originated in medical treatments.
