The word "dungarees" originates from the Hindi word "dungri," which refers to a type of coarse cotton fabric. This fabric was originally made in the village of Dongri, near Mumbai, India. British merchants began importing this material in the 19th century, and it eventually became associated with the sturdy work pants made from it, leading to the modern use of the term "dungarees."
