Etymology
The term 'jockstrap' originated in the late 19th century, around 1874, in the United States. The name is a combination of 'jock,' which is a slang term for an athlete, and 'strap,' referring to the design of the garment. The jockstrap was initially designed for bicycle riders to provide support and protection during their rides, as cycling was becoming increasingly popular at the time. As sports evolved, the use of jockstraps spread to various athletic disciplines, including football, baseball, and wrestling, becoming standard gear for male athletes. Over the years, the design and materials have evolved, with modern jockstraps often made from elastic and breathable fabrics for enhanced comfort and performance.
