Etymology

The term 'crotch' originated from the Middle English word 'crotch', which referred to the fork of a tree. This term is derived from the Old English word 'crocca', meaning 'a forked branch'. Over time, the meaning evolved to describe the anatomical intersection of the legs and torso, highlighting the branching or fork-like shape of this body part. The association with bodily anatomy became more prominent in the 19th century as clothing styles evolved, necessitating specific terms for different parts of the body. Today, 'crotch' is commonly used in both anatomical and fashion contexts.
