Word origin
The word 'sweater' originated in late 19th century America, derived from the verb 'sweat' in the sense of 'cover with sweat'. Initially, sweaters were worn by athletes to induce sweating and keep warm during exercise. Over time, the term evolved to refer to knitted garments worn for warmth and fashion.
