Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Originating from Middle English and Old French in the late 14th century, derived from the Old French word 'gousset', meaning the armpit or a piece of armor covering it. Over time, the term evolved from referring specifically to armor components to designating triangular fabric inserts used in tailoring and garment construction to add expansion and strength.
