The term "dicky" originally referred to a detachable shirt front or false collar worn in the 19th century, designed to give the appearance of a full shirt without the bulk. Over time, the term evolved to also denote the turtleneck style, which resembles the high neckline of the dicky. The name reflects its practicality and fashion function in layering attire.
