The term "gachees" for long underwear is believed to have originated from the French word "gache," which refers to a type of garment worn underneath clothing. It became popular in Quebec and among French-speaking communities in Canada, where it evolved into "gachees." The term has since been adopted in broader Canadian English, particularly in informal contexts, to describe warm, thermal underwear.
