Garment can be used as a synonym for clothing.
Pledge is a term originating from the Latin word pignora that has several uses. The most common is linked to clothing and the different components of a dress .
A garment, in this sense, can be a shirt , a t-shirt , pants , etc. For example: “Maria's store brought new warm clothes” , “The woman took off the clothes one by one until she was completely naked” , “I think there are moths in the house: I found small holes in several pieces of clothing” .
Origin of different garments
The origin of certain items of clothing is certainly peculiar and unknown to most people. Furthermore, it is important to note that its evolution has gone hand in hand with other social and cultural advances, and will continue to do so.
T- shirts , for example, which are also called remeras in certain parts of Latin America, do not have a well-defined history: some claim that they emerged in 19th century Great Britain as part of the attire of certain servants, while others attribute their creation to to the Americans, to shelter the soldiers under the rest of the clothing.
Another more curious example involves socks , a very common item of clothing in many cultures today, whose creation seems to date back to 700 BC. C. , or at least the first evidence of its existence dates from that time. Of course, the first sock models were very different from the current ones: they were made with felt and did not adapt as easily to the body as the ones we know and use today.
It is difficult to overcome the impact caused by the supposed origin of high-heeled shoes , an icon of today's femininity. It is believed that the first people to use this invention were the butchers of Ancient Egypt , with the purpose of stepping on the blood that was spilled on the ground as little as possible. Later, Mongolian horsemen also used heels to get on horses more easily.
In children's games, a piece of clothing is a punishment or a challenge.
A challenge or punishment
The clothes can also be challenges or punishments that arise within the framework of a game . Suppose some children decide to compete by solving riddles: the little ones agree that whoever cannot come up with a solution will have to fulfill a task (which could be jumping ten times in a row on one leg or finding an object in a dark room, for example). two possible options).
Another game that is often popular among teenagers consists of each participant choosing whether to answer a compromising question or fulfill a pledge as a consequence. Since this is an age in which interest in sexuality begins, questions about hidden loves are common, which are often not easy to answer in front of a group. In this context, a garment can become very risky and require daring behavior, much harder than a mere uncomfortable response.
Pledge on the right
In the field of law , a pledge is something that a debtor grants as collateral to his creditor so that he has it in his possession until the payment obligation is fulfilled. The debtor, in this way, becomes a pledger (remember the etymological origin of pledge).
The pledge, which can also be called in this context as a pledge , reinforces the security of the creditor: if the person who owes does not pay what is due, the creditor can retain ownership of what is offered as a pledge.
A man may approach with the intention of offering a watch as a pledge to a bank that grants pledged loans . The bank will be in charge of appraising the watch and will lend the interested party the equivalent money. If the latter does not return the amount within the agreed period, the bank will keep the watch.
