'The word came into English from Hindi, which originates from the Persian words "shir o shekar," meaning "milk and sugar", probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth surface of milk and bumpy texture of sugar.' - American Heritage Dictionary (4th ed.)

Can you wear a seersucker jacket with linen pants?
I really wouldn't. seersucker is surprisingly "dressy", especially in the south (except shorts). I wouldn't wear a seersucker jacket with anything except the accompanying pants.

A more youthful and modern approach is to wear different pants with the jacket. I am a NYC fashion Designer so you can trust my advice.
