Origin:
The word "callus" entered the English language in the 14th century, derived from the Latin "callum," which means "hardening of the skin." The Latin word is believed to have originated from the Proto-Indo-European root kel-, which means "to harden." This root is also the origin of other words related to hardening, such as "callous" and "coagulate."
Calluses develop over time as a result of repeated pressure or rubbing on the skin. The body produces new skin cells to protect the underlying tissue from damage. These new cells become hard and thickened, forming a callus. Calluses are typically found on hands, feet, and other areas of the body that are subject to friction.
