Etymology

The word 'don' has its origins in the late Middle English period, derived from the Old French 'doner', which means 'to give' or 'to place'. It was formed from the Latin 'dare', implying a sense of putting on or giving oneself the action of wearing something. Initially used in the context of donning academic robes or gowns in educational institutions, the term has evolved over the centuries. Its proliferation in the English language is significantly noted from the 16th century onwards, often employed in literary works to describe the act of dressing, particularly in more formal or ceremonial settings. Over time, 'donning' has come to encompass a broader range of clothing and protective gear, reflecting changes in dress norms and occupational safety practices.
