Camiknickers are a women's undergarment covering the torso. The name was coined in the 1920s when camiknickers were introduced as a briefer garment than combinations. It was derived from camisole and knickers, effectively joining those two garments together as one. It was an appropriate garment to wear under the shorter dresses of the time and also gained popularity during the Second World War when many women wore slacks instead of skirts.
