词源

Sense 2: from earth + bathing. Widely understood to have been coined Scottish physician James Graham in the late 1780s or early 1790s. * Possibly coined earlier by Gerard van Swieten in 1765 in references to practices found in the Kingdom of Granada (writing "per balneum terrae," Latin for "bath of earth").
