Etymology

The word "fashion" traces back to the Latin factio (a making or doing), which evolved into Old French façon (manner, appearance, or workmanship). By the 14th century, English adopted it to describe both the act of creating and the prevailing style. Over time, its meaning narrowed to emphasize trends in clothing and behavior, reflecting societal shifts in aesthetics and culture.
