Word origin
The word 'tee' has origins in the Scottish Gaelic word 'taigh', meaning house. In the 17th century, it was used to refer to the area where the ball was placed at the start of play in golf. The modern usage of 'tee' to refer to a T-shirt originated in the early 20th century as a shortened form of 'T-shirt'.
