The word "curtseying" is derived from the term "curtsy". "Curtsy" is an alteration of the word "courtesy", which originally meant "behavior befitting a courtier" or "polite behavior". The term "curtsey" appeared in English around the late 16th century and referred specifically to the gesture of bending the knees and lowering the body briefly as a sign of respect or greeting, particularly performed by women. Over time, the term "curtseying" emerged as a verbal form of "curtsey" to describe the action or act of performing a curtsy.
