RoseGal offers a selection of skirts on the page linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Skirts” is built on ancient words that mean |Shirt (starting as the word for the Long |Shirts of |Peasants, developing into ancient words for Women's |Gowns, leading to its use as slang for |Miscellaneous Women ... & the shirt's Lower Edge- or Border-sense may have led to the word's use as a suffix (e.g. #Outskirts etc.) and -to the verb-sense of Passing-by along such an Edge).
