deblouse

Doesn't it mean to remove one's blouse? SemperBlotto (talk) 08:06, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Most of the citations I find are, indeed, about removing a blouse. I DID find a military sense, but it was the opposite of blouse (to tuck ones trousers into ones boots) - that is, to untuck one's trousers from one's boots. In fact, if you look at the history of the entry, you will see that the original editor started with the definition I found, but changed it when all his/her cites used the form unblouse. This definition is probably based on deblouser, which is a shirt stay. However, I find no evidence for this definition, and think it is simply wrong. Kiwima (talk) 09:27, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
