Etymology
The word 'panty' originated in the early 20th century in the United States as a diminutive form of 'panties', which itself derives from 'pants', a term used for trousers. The adoption of the term was influenced by the women's liberation movements of the 1960s and 1970s, leading to an increased focus on women's clothing and undergarments. As fashion evolved, the variety of styles and designs of panties expanded significantly, reflecting changes in societal norms and personal preferences. Today, panty styles range from practical to luxurious, with a wide array of materials and designs catering to various tastes and occasions.
