Word origin

The word 'pant' originated from the Old French word 'pantaisier', meaning 'to have a labored breathing'. It is believed to have been first used in the English language in the late 14th century. Over time, the word evolved to have multiple meanings, including both a garment worn on the lower body and a verb describing heavy breathing.
