Origin:
The word "sallow" comes from the Old English word "sealh" or "sealu," which referred to a type of willow tree. The bark of this tree was used to make a salve that was applied to the skin to heal wounds and skin conditions. Over time, the term "sallow" came to be used to describe the pale, unhealthy complexion that can result from skin problems.
In the 16th century, the word "sallow" began to be used more generally to describe any pale or unhealthy complexion. It is often used to describe the appearance of someone who is ill or malnourished. The word can also be used figuratively to describe something that is dismal or gloomy.
