The word 'cummerbund' is adopted into the English vocabulary from which country?

The word cummerbund entered English vocabulary in 1616 from India. It is a combination of Persian and Indian words. In India, before the British Colonial rule, Persian was one of the court languages. The Persian word ‘kamar’ means waist and the Indian word ‘band’ means to tie/strap/lace. The cummerbund literally means a ‘waist-band.’ It is a wide band/sash worn by Indian men for various occasions. The British military officers were the first to adopt this garment when they saw the Indian men wearing it. It was adopted as an alternative to a waistcoat. In the modern use for the Europeans it became a component of a traditional black tie event. Once it got adopted as a civilian dress, other colors were added to the traditional black. The pleats face up and used to hold ticket stubs and other similar items giving rise to the slang name ‘crumb-catcher.’ Cummerbunds became adopted in military, sports and also in scuba diving as a buoyancy control device.
