The word "moccasins" originates from the Algonquian languages, specifically the Powhatan and Delaware tribes, where it was referred to as "makasin." The term was adopted into English in the 17th century to describe the soft leather footwear traditionally worn by Native American peoples. Moccasins are characterized by their simple construction and flexibility, often made from deer or other animal hides.
