So, what does the "T" in "T-shirt" stand for?
The answer is:
**Nothing at all.**
It isn't an abbreviation.
It doesn't represent a hidden word.
The name simply comes from the garment's shape. When laid flat with its sleeves extended, the shirt resembles the capital letter **T**, and that visual resemblance inspired the name.
It's one of those wonderfully simple explanations that most people never think about until someone asks.
