Etymology
The word bikini comes from Bikini Atoll, a group of islands in the Pacific where atomic bomb tests happened in 1946. A French designer named his very small two-piece swimsuit a 'bikini' because he thought it would have an 'explosive' effect on fashion, and that's why the word now means a small, revealing women's swimsuit.
