Word origin

The waistcoat, also known as a vest in American English, has a long history dating back to the 17th century. It was originally worn as an undergarment by men to provide additional warmth and to add layers to their outfit. Over time, the waistcoat evolved into a fashionable garment that is now commonly worn as part of formal attire. Its popularity has fluctuated over the years, but it remains a staple in men's and women's fashion.
