boxer

/ˈboɡseɾ/

noun, masculine/ˈboɡseɾ/plural: boxers

alternative spelling of bóxer

Borrowed from English boxer. The sense "boxer shorts" is a pseudo-anglicism, derived from the English boxer shorts; note that while boxer does exist in English to refer to boxer shorts, it only exists as an attributive in front of other nouns, and cannot function as a standalone noun. In the dog sense, borrowed from German Boxer.
