toga

Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   a long, loose outer garment draped around the body and worn by male citizens of ancient Rome

   The senator's white toga was edged with a narrow purple stripe.

Borrowed directly from Latin toga, the characteristic outer garment of a Roman citizen, from tegere, 'to cover or clothe.' The word therefore belongs to the same Latin family as integument and protect.
