Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of the noun 'form' (from Old French 'forme', ultimately from Latin 'forma') and the participle of the verb 'fit' (of uncertain Germanic origin, likely related to Middle English meanings involving adjustment and suitability). Emerging in the mid-20th century alongside synthetic textiles and stretchy fabrics, the term originally described garments tailored precisely to the natural contours of the human body.
