Something that removes or is used for removing hair from the body.
From Latin 'de-' (away) + 'pilus' (hair) + '-ary' (relating to). First documented in English medical texts in the 1600s describing various hair-removal treatments and substances.
The ancient Greeks considered body hair unfeminine and used pumice, razors, and early depilatory pastes—basically inventing the beauty industry thousands of years before modern cosmetics.
