Etymology
Compound of 直 (hita, “one, single”, cognate with 一 (hito, “one”)) + 垂れ (tare, “hanging, drooping”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 垂れる (tareru, “to hang down, to droop”)).[1][2][3][4]
Probably so named from the way that this form of dress only has a 単衣 (hitoe, “unlined robe”, literally “one layer”) on top as opposed to the 袷 (awase, “lined kimono”, literally “matching, putting things together”) style with two layers, and the collar is the so-called 垂領 (tarikubi, “drooping neck”) style that lays flat, as opposed to the 上領 (agekubi, “raised neck”) style vaguely similar in shape to an upright clerical collar.
The term first appears in the 900s.[3]
