Etymology
The word passe comes from French passé, which means 'passed' or 'past' and from the verb passer 'to pass', the same root as English pass. Think of a bus that has 'passed' you; it is gone. So if a style has 'passed' it is no longer in fashion, which is why passe means 'no longer fashionable'.
