In page Corset:

"

The word corset is a diminutive of the Old French word cors (meaning "body", and itself derived from the Latin corpus): the word therefore means "little body". The craft of corset construction is known as corsetry, as is the general wearing of them. (The word corsetry is sometimes also used as a collective plural form of corset). Someone who makes corsets is a corsetier or corsetière (French terms for a man and for a woman maker, respectively), or sometimes simply a corsetmaker. The garment to which the corset refers was variously referred to as (a pair of) bodies, stays, or a corset, depending on the time period.[1] In the 18th century, the word corset came into general use in the English language.[citation needed]
