よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "girdle" with "gird" (a verb meaning to prepare or to surround). "Girdle" in this sense is a thing (noun), not an action. Learners may also call all tight underwear a "corset"; in modern English, "shapewear" is often more common than "girdle" in everyday speech.
意味
tight undergarment for waist/hips
コロケーション
wear a girdle
|tight girdle
|elastic girdle
|support girdle
|post-surgery girdle
類義語
corset (Often stiffer and more structured, and strongly linked to historical fashion.)
|
shapewear (Modern general term for tight underwear that shapes the body; not always limited to the waist and hips.)
テーマ

定義
A special piece of underwear that fits tightly around the waist and hips to make the body look smoother or to give support.
A tight undergarment worn around the waist and hips to shape, smooth, or support the body.

Learners often try to use this like the more common verb "gird" or assume it is normal in everyday speech. In modern English, "girdle" as a verb is rare and sounds literary; "surround" or "encircle" are usually better choices.
