Etymology of the Word "Джинсы" (Jeans)

The word "джинсы" (jeans) is a loanword in the Russian language, borrowed from English. It refers to a type of pants made of denim fabric, typically associated with casual wear. The etymology of the word "джинсы" can be traced back to the English word "jeans," which originated from the French word "gênes." The French word "gênes" referred to the sturdy cotton trousers worn by sailors from Genoa, Italy, in the 16th century. Over time, the term "jeans" became associated with the denim pants that were popularized by Levi Strauss in the United States during the 19th century.

The word "джинсы" entered the Russian language relatively recently, as jeans became a popular fashion item in the country. The adoption of the word reflects the influence of Western culture and fashion trends on Russian society.
