Etymology

The word 'trousers' originates from the Arabic word 'zarฤbฤซl', which referred to a type of pant-like garment worn in ancient times. The term spread through various languages, eventually entering English via Old French, where it became 'trousses', referring to a pair of pants. Historically, trousers were primarily worn by men, especially for practicality in riding and labor. In the medieval period, they were often part of military uniforms and slowly gained acceptance in civilian wear. By the 19th century, trousers became a common garment for both genders, especially with the rise of women's rights and the need for practical clothing. Today, trousers come in an array of styles, materials, and fits, making them a ubiquitous element of modern fashion.
