Plural of bathrobe; loose clothing garments worn before, after, or while bathing, typically made of soft absorbent fabric like cotton or terry cloth.
English bath + robe. The bathrobe became popular in the late 19th century as indoor plumbing made home bathing more common.
Bathrobes were invented because people needed something comfortable and easy to slip on when moving between wet bathroom and warm bedroom—comfort engineering at its finest!
