Surface Forms

undergarbs plural

Morphology

undergarb = garb (transparent) = under + garb

Formed by the productive prefix 'under-' plus 'garb' with the straightforward meaning 'clothing worn beneath outer garments.'

Etymology

Undergarb joins under ('below') and garb ('clothing'), so it gives a clear picture of clothes you wear beneath other clothes; in short, your underwear.
