sherryvalliesn.

/ʃɛrɪˈvalɪz/

Forms: Also 1800s shorrevals, sherrivalleys.

Etymology: The proximate history is obscure, but the word must be an adoption of some one of the many forms of a widely diffused word of eastern origin, signifying a kind of trousers: compare Arabic sirwāl , now commonly sharwāl (plural sarāwīl , sharāwīl ), whence Spanish zaragüelles plural, Portuguese ceroulas plural), Russian šaravary , Polish szarawary , Greek σαράβαρα , late and medieval Latin sarabara , saraballa , sarabala , saravara , etc. (see Du Cange), Syriac sharbålå ; the ultimate source is by some scholars supposed to be the Persian shalwār (see salwar n.) of the same meaning. The Biblical Aramaic sarbālīn plural, which in Dan. iii. 21, 27 is rendered by the like-sounding words in Syriac, Greek, and Latin, has been regarded as identical (English Bible 1611 ‘coats’, margin ‘mantles’, 1884 Revised ‘hosen’), but this is very doubtful. Our first quot. might suggest Polish as the probable proximate source for the U.S. word. Gen. C. Lee had been aide-de-camp to the king of Poland.

U.S.

With plural agreement. (See quot. 1848.)
