The word "tuxedo" originates from Tuxedo Park, a wealthy enclave in New York where the garment was first popularized in the late 19th century. The name "Tuxedo" itself derives from the Algonquian word p'tuksit, meaning "wolf" (referring to the local Lenape tribe). The suit was introduced by wealthy residents who adapted a tailless dinner jacket from British fashion, and the style became synonymous with the location. Over time, "tuxedo" generalized to refer to the formal suit itself.
