Pronunciation: /ˈlɒndʒəɹi/ / /ˈlɒndʒəɹeɪ/ / /ˈlɒ̃ʒəɹi/

noun

Etymology: Borrowed from French lingerie (“linen closet”). The irregular pronunciation is a hyperforeignism; it may derive from the frequent shift of /ɛ̃/ (which is this word's first vowel in standard French) toward /ɑ̃/ or [æ̃] in European French, which also tends to be drifted towards /ɔ̃/.

  1. Underwear or nightclothes (typically women's), especially when lacy or designed to be seductive.
  2. Linen goods collectively.

    “Empire matinees in lingerie stuffs with trimmings of lace and embroidery are shown in great variety.”
