| Curtsy description |
|---|
| A curtsey (also spelled curtsy, courtesy in British English, or incorrectly as courtsey) is a traditional gesture of greeting, in which a girl or woman bends her knees while bowing her head. It is the female equivalent of male bowing or genuflecting in Western cultures. Miss Manners characterizes its knee bend as deriving from a "traditional gesture of an inferior to a superior." The word "curtsey" is a phonological change from "courtesy" known in linguistics as syncope.* |
