Muumuu (noun)
1. a long, loose fitting dress, usually brightly coloured and patterned, traditionally worn by Hawaiian women.
2. an oversized housedress.
First recorded in 1920-25, the term muumuu is derived from the Hawaiian word muʾumuʾu meaning cut-off, so called because the dress originally lacked a yoke.
