A term used by American veterans of the Spanish-American war. It is theorized that the cloth or the trousers were made in China.
The American Heritage Dictionary says that the word is from American Spanish chino, literally "toasted", in reference to its usual color. But this is not a usual meaning of the Spanish word.
chino (countable and uncountable, plural chinos)
