nounjeggings pl (plural only)
- neologismpluralplural onlyfashionDenim leggings, or very skinny jeans.
I remember first reading about jeggings (jeans+leggings) in 2009. How ridiculous it sounded then, a word that conjured up images of urinary infections and squished buttocks. Four years later, the M&S website devotes an entire section to this fashion hybrid.
