「乳押さえ」は、昔のブラジャーを指す古い言い方だ。
"Chichiosae" is an old term for a brassiere.
Standard modern word for bra; 乳押さえ is a rare, dated synonym.
Common abbreviation of ブラジャー; 乳押さえ is much rarer and old-fashioned.
Compound of 乳 (chichi, 'breast') and 押さえ (osae, 'pressing down' or 'holding'), literally 'breast presser'. The exact origin is uncertain, but it likely arose as a native Japanese coinage before the loanword ブラジャー became standard.
