the.com/shower curtain
The only fabric whose entire job is clinging to you out of static, not loyalty.
means A sheet of waterproof material hung around or beside a shower to keep the spray from flooding the bathroom floor.
from A simple compound of 'shower' (from Old English 'scur,' meaning a brief fall of rain or hail) and 'curtain' (from Old French 'cortine,' a hanging cloth used to enclose or screen off a space, ultimately traced to Late Latin 'cortina'). Indoor plumbing made the thing necessary; the name just describes the job plainly — a curtain for your shower. The static-cling problem is a side effect of vinyl and plastic becoming the material of choice in the 20th century, nothing the word itself ever promised.
