Etymology
Pantalooned comes from an old Italian stage character named Pantalone, who wore long, tight trousers called pantaloons, a name that later gave us the everyday word pants. So to be pantalooned is 'wearing trousers', and thinking of that costume gives an easy picture to remember the meaning.
