Moccasin

/ˈmɑːkəsɪn/ noun

A moccasin is a soft shoe made from a single piece of leather, traditionally worn by many Native American peoples. Modern moccasins often have soft soles and are used as casual shoes or slippers.

From an Algonquian language, likely Powhatan “makasin” or a similar form, adopted into English by early colonists in North America. The word spread as Europeans encountered Indigenous footwear styles.
