Etymology

The word 'bathrobe' originated in the early 20th century, combining the word 'bath' which can be traced back to the Old English 'bæð' meaning 'to bathe' and 'robe' derived from the Old French 'robe', meaning 'a garment'. The concept of wearing a robe or loose-fitting garment after bathing can be found in various cultures throughout history, but the specific term bathrobe came to prominence as hygiene practices and public baths became more common. Over time, bathrobes evolved in style and material, accommodating different preferences and cultures. Today, they are associated with comfort and relaxation, often seen as a symbol of leisure in modern households.
