Definitions

  1. women's underwear and nightclothes

Word origin

Borrowed from French lingerie (“linen closet”). The irregular pronunciation is a hyperforeignism; it may derive from the frequent shift of /ɛ̃/ (which is this word's first vowel in standard French) toward /ɑ̃/ or [æ̃] in European French, which also tends to be drifted towards /ɔ̃/.

Used in a sentence

  • Empire matinees in lingerie stuffs with trimmings of lace and embroidery are shown in great variety.
