Etymology of BOBBYSOCKER

The word "bobbysocker" is derived from the combination of two words: "bobby" and "socks".

The term "bobby" is originally derived from the nickname for a police officer in Britain, particularly referring to the members of the Metropolitan Police Service in London. The term traces back to the 19th century when Sir Robert (Bobby) Peel founded the modern police force in 1829. The officers were known as "bobbies" or "Peelers" after him.

The word "socks" refers to the type of hosiery or footwear commonly worn by both men and women. In this context, "bobbysocks" specifically refers to short socks that reach just above the ankle.

The term "bobbysocker" emerged during the mid-20th century in America, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s.
