Etymology

The term 'dungarees' originated from the Hindi word 'dungri', which referred to a type of coarse, thick cotton cloth. The British East India Company began using this fabric for work clothing, and the term evolved to describe the bib overalls we know today. Dungarees gained popularity in the early 20th century as practical workwear, especially in farming and construction.
