Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'dress' from Old French 'dresser' (meaning to set straight or prepare) and 'pant', an apocopated form of 'pantaloon' derived from the 17th-century commedia dell'arte character Pantalone. Originally referring strictly to formal trousers, the term evolved in modern tailoring to designate any sharply creased, formal or semi-formal trouser worn for business or formal occasions.
