Word origin

The term 'undershirt' originated in the late 19th century, as a garment designed to be worn under the primary shirt. Initially made of wool, undershirts have evolved over time to be made from various materials such as cotton and synthetic blends. They serve practical purposes such as providing an extra layer for warmth or absorbing sweat, and have become a staple in many people's wardrobes.
