Blend of uni- + leotard.

noun unitards

A skin-tight garment covering the torso and the legs, sometimes the arms and feet. While Lincoln Kirstein noted that the unitards did show clearly the dancers' lines, he too found them distracting: "Union-suit tights are hard to make look neat, but the line of undergarments shining through continually destroyed the line."
