Etymology

The term 'joggers' originated in the late 18th century in Scotland, where it was used to describe people who jogged or ran at a slow pace. Over time, the term evolved to refer to both the activity of jogging and the type of casual trousers designed for exercise. Jogging as a form of exercise became popular in the 1960s and 1970s, leading to the widespread use of the term 'joggers' to describe both runners and the clothing associated with the activity.
