Root Explanation

Menswear → It is formed from "men" (from Old English "mann", meaning adult male) and "wear" (from Old English "werian", meaning to carry or to dress). The word "menswear" refers to clothing designed for adult males.

Memory Tip

Think of 'men' as adult males who 'wear' clothing — that's why menswear means clothing for men.
