The word "jackette" is actually a derivative of the word "jacket". The etymology of "jacket" can be traced back to the Middle French word "jaquet", which referred to a short, lightweight tunic or coat worn by men in the 16th century. This Middle French term was ultimately derived from the Old French word "jaque", which originally meant a type of armor made of interlocking plates, worn by soldiers in the 14th century. The Old French term "jaque" was borrowed from the Spanish word "jaco", which had a similar meaning. The Spanish word "jaco" itself was borrowed from the Arabic word "sakk" or "shakk", meaning "a type of military tunic". Over time, the term "jacket" evolved and developed various meanings in different contexts, including a short coat or tunic worn by both men and women.
