- (historical) An ancient kind of shirt or nightgown.
- 2003, Tom Tierney, Historic Costume: From Ancient Times to the Renaissance, page 58:
- The father and son depicted here wear short linen camisias. The boy's camisia was probably his “dress-up” wear; the vertical stripe appears on matching stockings. The father's light-colored camisia is worn for work, doubling as an undergarment when he dresses up in an over-tunica.
