Etymology:
The word "dalmatic" originates from the Latin "dalmatica," which is derived from the name of the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea.
Meaning:
A dalmatic is a type of ecclesiastical vestment, a long, flowing robe worn by deacons and bishops in the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican churches.
Origin:
The origin of the dalmatic is uncertain, but it is believed to have evolved from the Roman tunic known as a "tunica dalmatica." This tunic was worn by the Roman military and administrative officials in the Dalmatian region.
