Root Explanation

Jumpsuit → The word is formed from "jump" (originating from Middle English *jumpe*, meaning to leap) and "suit" (from Old French *suite*, meaning a set of clothes or attire). A jumpsuit is a single piece of clothing that combines a top and pants, allowing for ease of movement, as if one is leaping or jumping into it.

Memory Tip

Think of 'jumping' into a single piece of clothing ('suit') that allows for freedom of movement — that's what a jumpsuit is all about.
