Wearing trousers, or clothed in trousers (often used humorously or descriptively).
From 'be-' plus 'trousered,' the past participle of 'trouse' (to put on trousers), which comes from 'trousers,' ultimately from Irish 'triubhas.' This is a humorous literary coinage.
The word 'trousers' comes from Irish and Gaelic languages—when the Irish wore tight-fitting leg garments, English speakers needed a new word, and 'betrousered' jokingly emphasizes the state of wearing them.
Trousers historically marked masculine identity and power; 'betrousered' carried implicit gender signaling. Women wearing trousers faced legal restriction and social penalty, making the term carry gendered assumptions about propriety and gender performance.
Describe clothing neutrally without gender implication. Avoid as descriptor of gender identity.

Women fought for right to wear trousers without legal/social punishment; reclaim this word as gender-neutral clothing description.
