Etymology of WAISTCOATING

The word "waistcoating" is derived from the combination of two words: "waistcoat" and "-ing".

The term "waistcoat" originated from the Old French words "gustcov" or "gorstcov", which meant "garded body". This was later borrowed into Middle English as "waletcote" around the 15th century, which referred to a close-fitting, sleeveless garment worn over a shirt. Over time, the term evolved into "waistcoat" in English.

The suffix "-ing" is added to the noun "waistcoat" to form the noun "waistcoating". This suffix "-ing" is a nominalizing suffix, which turns a verb or a noun into a noun. In the case of "waistcoating", it denotes the fabric used to make waistcoats.
