Compound of 直(hita, “one, single”, cognate with 一(hito, “one”)) + 垂れ(tare, “hanging, drooping”, the 連用形(ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 垂れる(tareru, “to hang down, to droop”)).[1][2][3][4]
Probably so named from the way that this form of dress only has a 単衣(hitoe, “unlined robe”, literally “onelayer”) on top as opposed to the 袷(awase, “lined kimono”, literally “matching, putting things together”) style with two layers, and the collar is the so-called 垂領(tarikubi, “drooping neck”) style that lays flat, as opposed to the 上領(agekubi, “raised neck”) style vaguely similar in shape to an upright clerical collar.
