An Old English word recorded as early as ad 700.

Vagrants without proper clothing have long used rags wrapped round their feet as socks. Since the mid 19th century such a piece of improvized footwear has been a toerag. The term transferred to the unfortunate wearer later in the century, and nowadays toerag is an insult for anyone considered worthless or contemptible.
