Editing Parka (section)

==Etymology==
The word ''anorak'' comes from the [[Greenlandic language|Greenlandic]] (''Kalaallisut'') word ''annoraaq''. It did not appear in English until 1924; an early definition is "a beaded item worn by Greenland women or brides in the 1930s". In the early 1950s it was made from [[nylon]], but changed to [[poplin]] by 1959, when it was featured in ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'' magazine as a fashion item. In 1984, ''[[The Observer]]'' used the term to refer to the type of people who wore it and subsequently, in the United Kingdom, it is sometimes used as a mildly [[Anorak (slang)|derogatory term]].<ref name=Games2007>{{citation|last=Games|first=Alex|year=2007|title=Balderdash & Piffle : One sandwich short of a dog's dinner|isbn=978-1-84607-235-2|publisher=BBC|location=London|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/balderdashpiffle0000game}}</ref>
