scrubs
Surgeon's loose garments
Scrubs are the simple, loose-fitting garments worn by medical personnel in hospitals and clinics, typically consisting of a short-sleeved top and drawstring pants.
Originally designed for surgeons to wear during operations, scrubs are now standard attire for nurses, technicians, and other healthcare workers.
The name comes from their association with scrubbing in—the thorough handwashing ritual before surgery.
Outside medical settings, scrubs have become comfortable loungewear.
