Word origin
The first character 时 (shí, "time") sets a time frame, while 装 (zhuāng, "dress") supplies the idea of clothing and dressing, so the compound points to styles current at that time.
Usage tips
- Unlike a label for one item, 时装 (shízhuāng, "fashion") can cover a whole style category, making it useful when discussing clothing design.
