blouse
A blouse is a loose-fitting upper garment that was formerly worn by workmen, peasants, artists, women and children.〔The Concise Oxford English Dictionary〕 It is typically gathered at the waist or hips (by a waistband or belt) so that it hangs loosely ("blouses") over the wearer's body.〔 Today, the word most commonly refers to a girl's or woman's dress shirt but can also refer to a man's shirt if it is a loose-fitting style (e.g. poet shirts and Cossack shirts).〔Gavenas, Mary Lisa. ''The Fairchild Encyclopedia of Menswear'' (2008), p.47. ISBN 978-1-56367-465-5〕 Traditionally, the term has been used to refer to a shirt which blouses out or has an unmistakably feminine appearance.
The term is also used for some men's military uniform jackets.
==Etymology==
Blouse is a loanword to English from French: ''blouse'' means "dust coat". It possibly was brought back from their travels by French Crusaders. They moved on their armor a so-called "p(e)lusisian shirt", a blue-colored gowns to the dust, which had its name from the Egyptian town of Pelusium. The derivation may also be from "wool", ''blouso'' "short wool" and ''blos'', blouse "deprived, naked" taken off (Provençal dialect). It is first officially noted in 1828, from French blouse ("a workman's or peasant's smock"), of obscure Occitan route.
