The skin of a frog, or material resembling frog skin in texture or appearance; historically used in various folk remedies or crafts.
Compound of 'frog' + 'skin'. While literal frog skin was occasionally used in traditional medicine and folk practices, the term also developed metaphorical uses in describing textured or bumpy materials.
Frog skin is actually incredibly sophisticated—it breathes, drinks water, and some species secrete powerful toxins through it, making it far more complex than human skin despite being much thinner.
