Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'garter', originating from Old French 'gartiere' (related to Old Northern French gartier and garter), and 'belt', derived from Old English 'belt' and Latin 'balteus' meaning a girdle or belt. Recorded in English usage since the late 19th century as women's fashion evolved to incorporate elasticated straps attached to a waistband for holding up stockings.
