Etymology
Παντελόνι comes from Italian pantaloni, the plural of pantalone. Pantalone was a stock character in the Venetian commedia dell'arte, an old man who wore long, loose trousers, unlike the short breeches fashionable elsewhere in Europe at the time. His name traces back to San Pantaleone, a popular Venetian saint. As the garment spread across Europe, its name spread with it, and Greek adopted the Italian word directly, reshaping it with the native neuter ending -ι.
