Etymology
Corduroys comes from the name of the cloth and likely joins cord ('a string or rope') with an old cloth name duroy, so it really means a 'corded' fabric because of its raised ribs. A helpful way to remember it is the popular story that it came from French 'corde du roi' ('the king's cord'), and either way the name explains why corduroys are trousers with soft, ribbed lines.
