Etymology

The word 'baggy' can be traced back to the early 19th century, deriving from the word 'bag,' which has its roots in the Old Norse 'baggi,' meaning a sack or pouch. The use of 'baggy' to describe loose-fitting clothing reflected a practical approach to fashion, as such garments were designed for comfort and ease of movement. Over the years, baggy clothing has evolved into various styles and subcultures, especially in the realms of hip-hop and street fashion during the late 20th century. The superlative form 'baggiest' became common as people began to compare different fits and sizes of clothing, emphasizing an extreme of bagginess in a humorous or exaggerated manner. Today, 'baggiest' is often used in a mainstream context, appealing to those who embrace comfort over formality.
