ズボン refers to pants or trousers in Japanese. They are a type of clothing that covers the lower body from the waist to the ankles.
Think of ズボン as a pair of leg coverings, like a protective shield for your legs against the elements.
スカート (Sukāto): A skirt is another type of clothing that covers the lower body, but it does not have separate sections for each leg.
パンツ (Pantsu): This term refers specifically to underwear or underpants.
短パン (Tanpan): These are shorts, which are similar to ズボン but shorter in length.
