Etymology of BRASLIP

The word "braslip" is a portmanteau of two separate words - "bra" and "slip".

- "Bra" is derived from the French word "brassière", which originally meant a child's bodice or a woman's corset. It entered the English language in the early 20th century to refer specifically to a supporting undergarment worn by women to lift and shape the breasts. The term "brassière" itself is derived from the French word "bras" meaning "arm", as it initially supported the bust from the shoulders rather than the chest.

- "Slip" is derived from the Old English word "slippan" which meant "to glide" or "to slide".
