The term "sans-culottes" (literally, those without culottes, or breeches) initially referred to the common men who committed acts of violence in the name of the Revolution. They were so named because they belonged to the lower classes, who wore pantalons (trousers) rather than culottes (breeches). *

Over time, the term would expand to include all those who were opposed to the aristocracy and the counter-revolution.
