The modern day term “drag” came from the Elizabethan era in England or about the end of the 16th century. This is when genetic women could not appear in theatre. They were basically banned from being on stage. So, William Shakespeare would write in the margins of his plays the notation “DR.A.G” next to the name of the male cast member appearing as female. This is short for “Dress As Girl.” So you can see that the expression can be shortened to just “DRAG” which is our modern day term to describe any man dressed as a woman on stage.
