Paying someone to confront what your shoes have been hiding all year.
means A cosmetic treatment for the feet, usually including nail trimming, shaping, and polish, meant to make feet look and feel cared for.
from Straightforward Latin assembly: 'pes/pedis' meaning foot, plus 'cura' meaning care — the same 'cura' that gives us 'cure' and 'curator.' It's the direct sibling of 'manicure' (manus, hand), both entering English in the 1800s as salon vocabulary borrowed from French, where the terms had already been built the same way.
