Origin of 'baggily'

The term 'baggily' has its roots in the word 'baggy,' which originated from the Middle English word 'bagge,' meaning a small bag or sack. This conveys a sense of something that is not tightly fitted or secured. The adverbial form 'baggily' emerged as fashion trends evolved, particularly during the 20th century when loose-fitting clothing gained popularity. Initial associations with informal or casual attire further cemented its place in modern vernacular. As fashion cycles continued to adapt, 'baggily' became commonly used to describe a style that emphasizes comfort and ease, contrasting with more tailored or fitted options. Today, 'baggily' is widely used in clothing descriptions and has maintained a connection to the idea of relaxed, comfortable clothing.
