The term "dungaree" originates from the Hindi word "dungri," which refers to a coarse cotton fabric. This fabric was originally produced in the village of Dongri, near Mumbai, India. British sailors and workers adopted the material in the 17th century, leading to its incorporation into workwear, particularly in the form of trousers. Over time, the term evolved to describe the denim fabric commonly used in jeans today.
