Root Explanation

Daywear → The word is formed from "day" (from Old English "dæg", meaning the period of light between sunrise and sunset) and "wear" (from Old English "werian", meaning to carry or to dress in). The term "daywear" refers to clothing suitable for wearing during the day.

Memory Tip

Think of the period of light ('day') when you would 'wear' something — that's why daywear means clothing for daytime.
