History and etymology
[
edit]
The
Oxford Companion to the Body dates the origin of the pubic wig to the 1450s. According to the publication, women would shave their pubic hair for personal hygiene and to combat
pubic lice. They would then put on a merkin. Also, sex workers would wear a merkin to cover up signs of disease, such as
syphilis.

The
Oxford English Dictionary dates the first written use of the term to 1617. The word probably originated from
malkin,
[3][4] a derogatory term for a lower-class young woman, or from
Marykin, a
pet form of the female given name
Mary.
