Origin:
The word "etui" originated in the 17th century in France. It is derived from the Latin word "astūc(i)āre," which means "to enclose." This term was adapted into Old French as "estuer" and eventually became "étui" in Modern French.
The use of etuis for carrying small objects became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly among the elite. Etửis were often made from sophisticated materials such as leather, silk, or metal and decorated with elaborate designs. In the 20th century, etuis became more widely used and were produced in a variety of materials and styles to accommodate different objects and purposes.
