Clerical clothing is non-liturgical clothing worn exclusively by clergy.It is distinct from vestments in that it is not reserved specifically for use in the liturgy.Practices vary: clerical clothing is sometimes worn under vestments, and sometimes as the everyday clothing or street wear of a priest, minister, or other clergy member.
These religious undergarments are to be worn at all times (with the exception of certain activities such as exercise) under typical clothing. They date back to the early days of the Church, originating with the Church's first latter-day prophet, Joseph Smith, Jr., and have been updated periodically.
The word cassock comes from Middle French casaque, meaning a long coat.In turn, the Old French word may come ultimately from Turkish kazak (nomad, adventurer – the source of the word Cossack), an allusion to their typical riding coat, or from Persian کژاغند kazhāgand (padded garment) – کژ kazh (raw silk) + آغند āgand (stuffed).
