Learn English – word that means pants and/or shorts, or dresses and/or skirts

collective-nounsnouns

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?

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.
