The word "waxwork" has its origins in the Middle English word "waxwerke," a combination of "wax" and "werke" (meaning "work"). This accurately describes the process of creating life-like figures using wax. The term first appeared in the 14th century and was initially used for religious figures made of wax, which were common in churches. Over time, it expanded to include other wax figures, particularly those found in popular attractions showcasing historical figures, celebrities, or gruesome crime scenes.
