[staticsan]

The word kilt is described as "A type of short plaited petticoat worn in the Highlands of Scotland by men; hence any similar garment.

The words 'petticoat' and 'skirt' have changed meaning over the centuries more than most people realize. The word 'skirt' for a long time did not mean a separate garment, instead referring to the section of a coat or dress that hung from about the hips. What we now call a 'skirt' was for a long time called a 'petticoat'. It is only in the last 100 years or so that it became an under-garment.

Meanwhile, the practice of referring to the lower half of a dress as a 'skirt', whilst technically correct, gave rise to calling an actual garment that was just the lower half of a dress by the same name.

It's all fairly basic etymology.

Feeling a little bit frillier and in touch with my feminine side when kilted...

Aye. Although I deliberately put a kilt on the other week to do the manly task of dissassembling my printer/scanner to evict the ant-colony it had acquired...

Wade.

[turpin]

If petticoat comes from petit coat for the parts that hang below the waist, then we can refer to the fealidh beag as the petit kilt.

Lol well learnt something new.

[Martin S]

Petticoat comes roughly from old French "petit" + "cotte" , which corresponds fairly closely to the original meaning of feiladh beg.

Petticoat -- a short version of a "cotte' or smock, the all-purpose long overall worn in bygone days, just as the moden kilt is a short version of the old one.
