TUNIC (0. Eng. tunice, tunical, taken, before the Norman con-quest, directly from Lat. tunica, of which the origin is unknown)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 379 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TUNIC (0. Eng. tunice, tunical, taken, before the Norman con-quest, directly from Lat. tunica, of which the origin is unknown) , properly the name given in Latin to the
principal
  undergarment of men and
women
 , answering to the chiton (Xerc'ev) of the Greeks, and covered by the outer garment, the palla (Gr. lartov), in the
case
  of
women
 , and by the
peculiar
 
Roman
  garment, the toga, in the
case
  of men. The male tunica differed from the X1rwv in usually having short sleeves (see further COSTUME: Ancient
Greek
  and
Roman
 ). The
term
 , more often in the form " tunicle " (Lat. dim. tunicula), is applied, in ecclesiastical usage, to a vestment worn over the alb by the sub-deacon in the celebration of the
Mass
 . In general current usage it is used of any loose short garment, girt at the
waist
  and reaching from the neck to some distance above the knee. It is thus the name of the fatigue coat of a soldier of the British army. There are numerous uses of " tunic " or " tunica " in anatomy,
zoology
  and botany in the sense of a covering or integument.
