Etymology
From, which was used in the 19th century to refer to an unwaisted jacket; compare 🇨🇬. This name was due to the loose fitting, possibly reinforced by the idea of it being unpretentious and humble (compare, 🇨🇬). The later alteration of the form on the basis of 🇨🇬 was intended to have the opposite effect, namely to make it sound fashionable.

Noun

 * 1) sportcoat; sports coat; sports jacket

Usage notes

 * The word is exclusively neuter in the northern half of the language area, but may alternatively be masculine in southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and South Tyrol.
