Definition of undefined

The word "leggings" has a fascinating history, evolving from medieval times to modern fashion. The word originated from the Old English word "leggin," meaning "to bind" or "to tie." This was likely due to the early form of leggings, which were simply cloth strips wrapped around the legs for warmth and protection. The word evolved over time, with "legging" becoming "leggings" in the 16th century. During the 18th and 19th centuries, leggings were commonly worn by both men and women as a practical undergarment. In the 20th century, leggings underwent a major transformation, evolving from practical undergarments to trendy fashion items. Today, "leggings" are a ubiquitous and versatile piece of clothing worn by people of all ages and genders.
