knickers
This term is primarily used in British English. In the context of women's undergarments, it is the standard informal term, whereas American English speakers would typically use "panties."
Grammatically, this noun is a plurale tantum, meaning it exists only in the plural form and does not have a singular counterpart. It always takes a plural verb and is typically quantified using the phrase "a pair of" when referring to a single item.
