Etymology

The word 'bodice' originated in the late 16th century from the Old French word 'bodie', meaning 'a woman's corset'. It was commonly used to describe the upper part of a woman's dress or gown. Over time, the term evolved to specifically refer to a close-fitting garment that covers the chest and waist.
