Etymology
'conditioner' originates from the word 'condition,' which comes from Latin 'conditio,' meaning 'agreement' or 'situation.'
'condition' evolved from the Latin word 'conditio' through Old French 'condition,' eventually becoming the modern English word 'condition.'
Initially, it referred to a state or situation, but over time it evolved to include products that improve or maintain a state, such as hair or air conditioners.
