Word origin

The term 'choker' originated from the action of choking or constricting, as the necklace fits tightly around the neck. The fashion accessory became popular in the 1800s during the Victorian era when women wore chokers as a symbol of elegance and status. In the 1990s, chokers experienced a resurgence in popularity as a trendy accessory among young people. The sports-related use of 'choker' emerged in the mid-20th century to describe athletes who falter under pressure.
