knickerbockers
Pants below knee
Knickerbockers are loose-fitting trousers gathered at the knee, worn historically for sports like golf and cycling, and now mainly seen in period costumes or children's dress.
The term comes from the fictional author Diedrich Knickerbocker, whose illustrated histories showed Dutch settlers in such garments.
Often shortened to knickers, especially in British English where the word shifted to mean women's underpants.
