Culottes

Word Origin for culottes. “a divided skirt,” 1911, from French culotte “breeches” (16c.), a diminutive of cul “bottom, backside, backside, anus,” from Latin culus “bottom, fundament.” Earlier, in the singular culotte , it was used to mean “knee-breeches” (1842). The garment became so synonymous with the French elite that during the French Revolution, 1789-1799, the trouser-wearing revolutionary soldiers were coined the ‘Sans Culottes’.Jan 1, 2016
