Origin and Evolution of pants

First Known Use: 1840 year

Language of Origin: Italian

Story behind the word: The word 'pants' originated from the British English term 'pantaloons', which was derived from the Italian word 'pantaloni' referring to a type of trousers worn by men in the 16th century.

Evolution of the word: Over time, the term 'pants' became more commonly used in American English to refer to trousers worn by both men and women, and the term 'pantaloons' fell out of use. The word 'pants' has evolved to become a widely accepted term for trousers in modern English.
