The word "bathrobe" is a relatively recent invention, appearing in the late 19th century. It combines two words: "bath" and "robe." "Bath" refers to the act of bathing, which has existed for centuries. "Robe" derives from the Old French word "robe," meaning "gown." Prior to "bathrobe," people wore various garments after bathing, such as dressing gowns, nightgowns, or even just towels. The term "bathrobe" emerged as a specific and practical name for a garment designed for wearing after bathing.
