What is "scurvy"?

Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, which is essential for producing collagen and overall health. Historically, it was common among sailors and explorers on long sea trips who lacked access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Symptoms of scurvy include weakness, fatigue, swollen and bleeding gums, joint pain, and easy bruising. Without treatment, scurvy can lead to severe complications, such as anemia, gum disease, and slow wound healing. Treatment involves increasing vitamin C intake through diet or supplements.

What is "finery"?

Finery refers to clothing, accessories, and other decorative objects that are meant to be worn for special or formal occasions. The term typically implies luxurious or extravagant items that are meant to impress or show off the wearer's wealth or status. Examples of finery may include jewelry, formal gowns or suits, hats, gloves, and other items that are often adorned with intricate details such as beading, embroidery, or lace. Finery can be seen as a way of expressing one's personal style or taste, as well as a reflection of cultural norms and values related to beauty, fashion, and social status.
