A grooming tool with short wires arranged in rows on a flat or slightly curved surface, used to clean and smooth the coat of horses and other animals.
From 'curry' (possibly from Old French 'correier,' meaning 'to arrange' or 'to prepare') plus 'comb.' The '-comb' part refers to its comb-like structure with multiple wires.
A currycomb is one of those beautifully practical tools—horse people have used essentially the same design for centuries, and the name sounds almost magical, like something from a fairy tale!
