Abstract
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the origins of trousers, and to present a range of theories posited in this regard. To achieve this goal, multiple research methods were employed, including historical analysis, comparative inquiry, generalization, survey, conceptual elucidation, and observational investigation. It has been substantiated that the genesis of trousers can be attributed to the Turkic peoples, who facilitated its transmission to the wider world. Through an appraisal of archaeological artifacts and museum collections, a comparative analysis has been conducted, validating that the original prototype of trousers was employed without interruption until the mid-twentieth century. This research has unveiled the antique terminologies employed to refer to trousers within Turkic societies. By delineating the diversity of forms and varieties of trousers, a novel perspective on its genesis has been articulated and documented in the manuscript.
