Definition
a beauty treatment for the feet and toenails that includes cleaning, cutting, and often painting the nails.
Etymology
From Latin 'pes' (foot) + 'cura' (care). It's built on the same pattern as 'manicure' (from 'manus' meaning hand), both French-influenced terms that entered English in the late 19th century.
Kelly Says
The beauty industry split foot and hand care into separate treatments even though they're basically identical processes—'pedicure' and 'manicure' use the same Latin roots but got different names just because people historically cared more about showing off their hands than their feet.
