adjective/deskamiˈsado/

Peronist, usually of the working class

The term may have its origins on October 17, 1945, when thousands of supporters of Juan Perón gathered in front of the Casa Rosada to demand Perón's release from prison. While waiting for Perón on this hot day, many men in the crowd removed their shirts (hence "descamisado") and the image became iconic.
