Best Answer

In the 1600s, my mercenary ancestors from what is now Croatia wore scarves around the neck. This quickly caught on amongst fashionable types the word "cravat

comes from what enemy soldiers saying the cravatas are coming.

With time, the cravat evolved into the "lawn tie," which is essentially a bow tie.

but the cravata is actually originating from a neck scarf so it evolved into a lawn tie and neck tie
