Subligar 

This is the classical Latin word for "underpants."

A Latin synonym for this is SUBLIGACULUM, which means
"little binding underneath."

Here's an example, from the last line of Martial's epigram 3.87:

SI PUDOR EST, TRANSFER SUBLIGAR IN FACIEM.

(which means,

"If that's chastity, then put your underpants on your face!")
