means A traditional Japanese T-shaped robe with wide sleeves, wrapped left-over-right and secured with a sash called an obi.

from Straight from Japanese kimono, literally 'a thing to wear' — ki, from kiru, 'to wear,' plus mono, 'thing.' For centuries it was simply the word for clothing in general; only as Western dress crept in did it narrow to mean this particular wrapped garment, the thing you wore as opposed to the new foreign things. English borrowed it in the 19th century, sleeves and all.
