Where this word comes from

From Middle Dutch cure (13th c.), from Old French cure, from Latin cūra.

  1. mood, whim, quirk

    feminine
Where this word comes from

Attested since the 17th century. Probably the same word as in etymology 1 above. It has been explained in two ways: (1) from the sense “ailment”, which Middle Dutch cure developed (14th c.) by transfer from the treatment to that which is treated; (2) from the sense “skill, trick” (16th c.). In the latter case it may be based on the often bizarre prescriptions of pre-modern doctors.
