Etymology
The word 'sweatshirt' originated in the early 20th century, combining the word 'sweat' with 'shirt.' The term 'sweat' refers to the moisture produced by the body during physical exertion, and 'shirt' denotes a type of garment worn on the upper body. Sweatshirts were initially popularized in the 1920s by athletes, particularly as part of their training attire. They were designed to be comfortable and absorb sweat during physical activities. As the years went by, sweatshirts transitioned from solely athletic wear into a fashion staple, embraced by people of all ages. Modern variations, such as hooded sweatshirts or 'hoodies,' made their debut in the 1970s and quickly gained popularity as a casual, stylish option for informal outings.
