Fucation

/fjuːˈkeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The application of cosmetics or paint to the face; the practice of using makeup or dyes to alter appearance.

Etymology

From Latin fucatio, derived from fucatus (painted). The suffix -tion creates a noun meaning the action or process of applying cosmetics.

Kelly Says

This is the ancient world's word for what we call 'doing your makeup'—but it carried moral weight. The word itself was an accusation of deception, showing how people feared cosmetics as lies.
