Etymology
The word 'pants' originated from the Hindi word 'pajama', meaning 'leg clothing'. It first entered the English language in the 1840s to refer to an outer garment worn by men covering each leg separately. Over time, the term 'pants' evolved to include various types of leg coverings, such as trousers and underpants, and to also be used as a verb in informal contexts. Today, 'pants' is a common term used in both American and British English to describe different types of legwear.
