Is there a word that means pants and/or shorts, or dresses and/or skirts?

In Chinese apparently there is an extra character added for long/short pants and half/full dress. And footwear applies to sandals, boots, sneakers, etc. Is there an English word that means pants and/or shorts? And one that means a dress and/or skirt?


"Bottoms" can be used to refer to pants, shorts, or skirts, in the way that "top" refers generically to shirts and the like. This term is perhaps more common for women's clothes, but I have heard it used in a gender-neutral way when describing dress code to a large group.


I am going to go out on a limb on this one and say that the answer to your question is: "NO, there is no such word."

If someone can prove me wrong I will withdraw this answer.
