trousers
An outer garment covering the body from the waist to the ankles, with a separate section for each leg.
[C/U] Both
pl: trousers
This term is primarily used in British English, whereas American English speakers almost exclusively use the word pants. It carries a slightly more formal or traditional tone than casual terms like leggings or joggers.
Because the garment consists of two identical legs, the word is grammatically plural. It is rarely used in the singular form unless referring to a specific style or a technical design detail in the fashion industry.
Countable when referring to individual pairs (two pairs of trousers). Uncountable when referring to the general category of clothing.
