The term "duds" originated in the late 19th century, primarily as slang in British English. It was initially used to refer to clothes, particularly old or worn-out garments, deriving from the word "dud," which means a worthless or defective item. Over time, it became a colloquial term for clothing in general, especially when referring to less fashionable or shabby attire.
