Gatya are coarse linen trousers once worn by men in Hungary. They are of simple construction, comprising a series of rectangles with a gusset between the legs and a drawstring waist. The resulting trousers were very full when worn, hanging to just below the knee and were often worn with boots.

A gusset is a triangular piece of fabric set into a garment to create an enlarged area.
Research Gusset
In heraldry, a gusset in a coast of arms is an abatement or mark of dishonour. It is formed by a line drawn from the dexter or sinister chief point one third across the shield, and then descending perpendicularly to the base. It may be on either the dexter or sinister side of the shield; on the former it is an abatement for adultery; on the latter for drunkenness.
