bloomers
BLOO-merz · noun
English
Origin
Bloomers take their name from Amelia Bloomer, the American women's-rights activist who lived from 1818 to 1894.
Journey
The name stuck to the loose, gathered trousers associated with her, so that a specific reformer's name became a generic word for the garment itself.
