jeans

== English == === Etymology === From Gene(s) (also spelled Jean(s)), an obsolete English name for the Italian city of Genoa. Compare French Gênes. In the context of clothing, the term originally denoted a kind of coarse cotton (known more fully as Gene(s) fustian) that was associated with Genoa. It began to be used for trousers made of such cloth in the 19th century. At this point, the final -s was reanalysed as a plural ending. === Pronunciation === enPR: jēnz, IPA(key): /d͡ʒiːnz/ Homophone: genes Rhymes: -iːnz === Noun === jeans pl (plural only, attributive jean) (clothing) A pair of trousers made from denim cotton. === Noun === jeans plural of jean ==== Synonyms ==== See also Thesaurus:trousers ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== Genoese, Genovese ==== Descendants ==== → Amharic: ጂንስ (ǧins) → Greek: τζιν (tzin) → Hindi: जीन्स (jīns) → Irish: jíons → Polish: dżinsy → Russian: джи́нсы (džínsy)→ Livvi: džinsat ==== Translations ==== ==== See also ==== 👖 === Anagrams === Janes, janes == Dutch == === Alternative forms === jean (obsolete) === Etymology === Borrowed from English jeans. === Pronunciation === === Noun === jeans f (plural jeans, diminutive jeansje n) a pair of jeans (denim trousers) (by extension) any denim garment (invariable) the cotton fabric denim ==== Synonyms ==== (trousers): jeansbroek m, spijkerbroek m ==== Derived terms ==== jeanstint ==== Related terms ==== blue jeans Genuees m & adjective == French == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /dʒin/, (after English) /dʒins/ === Noun === jeans m plural of jean == Italian == === Etymology === Borrowed from English jeans. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈd͡ʒins/ Rhymes: -ins === Noun === jeans m pl (plural only) jeans (trousers) Synonym: (rare) ginsi Hypernym: pantaloni di jeans ― jean, denim (relational) === References === === Further reading === jeans in Treccani.it – Vocabolario Treccani on line, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana == Norman == === Etymology === Borrowed from English jeans. === Noun === jeans m pl (Jersey) jeans == Portuguese == === Etymology === Unadapted borrowing from English jeans.
