Etymology
The word 'sarong' is derived from the Malay and Indonesian words 'sarung', which means 'to wrap', reflecting the garment's function as a versatile piece of fabric that can be donned in various ways. The term may have entered the English language in the 19th century, during a period of increased interaction between Western cultures and Southeast Asian societies. As cultures intermixed, the sarong gained popularity not only as traditional wear, but also as a fashionable item for beachgoers and travelers alike. Its lightweight and breathable fabric makes it ideal for tropical climates, further cementing its place in the wardrobes of those living in or visiting warm regions.
