Did you know?
- Spanish distinguishes between depilarse, which usually implies removing hair from the root, and afeitarse, which means shaving. This means a man practicing manscaping must choose his verb based on the tool he uses, whereas English uses one trendy term for all.
- While 'manscaping' is about styling and trimming, the Spanish equivalent depilarse is derived from the Latin pilus, meaning 'hair'. This makes the Spanish term more about the biological removal of hair than the aesthetic art of 'scaping'.
- Because manscaping is an English loanword, it is often associated with urban centers and younger generations in Spain and Latin America. Older generations may view the concept through the lens of estética, a word that covers all general beauty and grooming services.
