EPILATE Meaning and Definition

  1. The verb "epilate" refers to the action of removing hair, specifically from the body or face, by extracting it at the root. This process is typically performed using techniques such as waxing, tweezing, or using an epilator device. By epilating, one aims to achieve longer-lasting results compared to shaving or trimming, as the hair is uprooted rather than being cut at the surface level.

    Epilation involves grasping the hair shaft firmly and pulling it out from the follicle, resulting in a smoother and hair-free appearance on the treated area. Epilators, for instance, are electronic devices equipped with rotating or oscillating tweezers that pluck hair out, providing a convenient alternative to traditional methods like waxing or tweezing. While some discomfort may be experienced during epilation due to the removal of multiple hair strands simultaneously, the pain usually diminishes with repeated treatments as the hair becomes finer and weaker.

    Epilation techniques are popular among those desiring long-lasting hair removal, as regrowth typically takes longer compared to shaving. Advantages of epilation include the potential for reduced hair density over time, finer regrowth, and a slower growth rate. However, it is important to note that the results may vary depending on individual hair growth patterns.

    In summary, "epilate" describes the process of removing hair from the root using various methods, offering a smoother appearance with longer-lasting results than shaving or trimming.

  2. To extract a hair; to remove the hair from a part by forcible extraction, electrolysis, or loosening at the root by chemical means; depilate.

Etymology of EPILATE

The word "epilate" originates from the Latin word "epilatus", which is the past participle of "epilare". "Epilare" is derived from the Greek word "epilambanein", meaning "to remove hair". The prefix "epi-" means "upon", while "lambanein" translates to "take or seize". Therefore, the etymology of "epilate" signifies the act of removing hair by seizing or plucking it from the skin surface.
