A long skirt or dress worn especially in Spanish or Latin American culture, or a fold or flap of fabric.
From Spanish falda, related to Old Spanish and possibly Germanic roots. The word may connect to 'fold' concepts, as it originally referred to a folded garment. It evolved to mean a full skirt or trailing dress.
The Spanish word falda (skirt) is totally different from its English origin—it probably comes from the same root as 'fold,' because traditional skirts are literally folded lengths of fabric wrapped around the body.
