upskirt

Upskirt refers to the practice of secretly photographing or videotaping the lower part of someone's body, particularly their genitals or buttocks, through their clothing, especially when they are unaware that they are being recorded. It is also known as upskirting and can involve using various methods such as hidden cameras, phones, or other recording devices. This behavior can be considered as a form of voyeurism and invasion of privacy, leading to legal consequences in many jurisdictions. The term 'upskirt' originates from combining 'up', which implies the action of lifting or looking upwards, and 'skirt', referring to the item of clothing typically targeted for this type of unsolicited observation.
