Etymology
Borrowed from Dutchmanchet, from Frenchmanchette, from manche + -ette. The first four senses are an extension of compound manset lengan(“lit. arm manchette”), introduced first likely on mid-2010s to refer tight detachable sleeves with a short-sleeved T-shirt when combined with veils, and later also to refer base layers (both male and female). The original sense "cuff" is quickly displaced by the current meaning.
(medicine) an inflatable band that is wrapped around an extremity to control the flow of blood through the part when recording blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer
