Etymology of PERFUMED

The word "perfumed" has its origins in the Latin word "per"fumare, which can be broken down into two parts: "per" meaning "through" or "thoroughly", and "fumare" meaning "to smoke" or "to perfume with smoke". In ancient times, fragrances were often produced by burning incense or aromatic substances, and the smoke emitted from them would carry the scent. Over time, the term evolved to encompass the process of adding fragrance to various products, leading to the term "perfumed" we use today.
