The earliest notice of the use of the rochet is found in an inventory of the vestments of the Roman clergy, dating from the 9th century. In this it is called "camisia", a name which it retained at Rome until the 14th century, and it seems to have been already at that time proper to particular members of the clergy. Other Roman names for the vestment were "succa, sucta"; it was not till the 14th century that the name "rochettum" appeared at Rome, but it was not long before it had superseded all the native designations.
