leotard

/ˈɫiəˌtɑɹd/ noun B1

a tight, one-piece outfit worn by dancers

Word Origin From the name of Jules Léotard, a 19th-century French acrobat who popularized the one-piece garment. He called it a maillot, but after his death, it became known as a leotard. The surname Léotard likely contains the Germanic element hard 'brave, strong.' So every leotard is a tribute to a daring trapeze artist.
