Etymology
The word 'dishabille' comes from the French deshabillรฉ, which means 'undressed' or 'disrobed.' This term was adopted into the English language in the late 17th century, reflecting the era's interest in French culture and language. Initially, it described a state of dress that was considered improper or relaxed. Over time, dishabille evolved to include not just the absence of formal attire but also a more casual, laid-back approach to dressing at home or in private settings. The concept of dishabille can also be seen in literature and art, where characters in various states of undress symbolize vulnerability or intimacy.
