Etymology

The word 'serge' originated from the Latin word 'serica' meaning 'silken' or 'silk cloth'. It was first used in the English language in the 16th century to refer to a type of twilled fabric. Over time, the term 'serge' evolved to also describe a person who is serious and formal in demeanor. Today, 'serge' continues to be used in both contexts, referring to both a type of fabric and a personality trait.
