underdrawers

Worn beneath trousers

Underdrawers is an old-fashioned or regional term for underwear worn on the lower body—what might otherwise be called underpants, shorts, or drawers.

The word emphasizes that the garment is worn under outer clothing: He stood there in nothing but his underdrawers.
