Etymology: Thieves and vagabonds in England once used their own coded slang, and in it "togeman" meant a cloak or loose coat. That word came through Middle English and Old French "togue" from Latin "toga," the flowing garment of Roman citizens, so this clothing sense reaches back to ancient Rome by a route that ran through the underworld. The English form was later shortened to "tog," first as a noun for a coat. By the 1700s it was used as a clipped form, and before 1800 it had come to mean clothing in general, usually in the plural as "togs." The verb meaning to dress up came shortly after.
