How to use "Silk-stocking" in context?
The phrase "silk-stocking" is derived from the term "serf," which referred to a socioeconomic class of peasants who worked for landowners in exchange for a fixed amount of land, which they could neither sell nor inheritance. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, women in England and Europe wore silk stockings as part of their formal attire. In fact, the term "silk stocking" is first documented in print in 1551, and described how King Francis I of France was expecting a gift of silk stockings from the Italian ambassador.
