neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: breech (with ee) is a verb meaning to put on trousers/breeches

agree  B D Finch: Though you are wrong about "breech", which is not the same thing at all. A breech birth means that the baby presents feet or hips first instead of head first. The lower body is what is clothed in breeches. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/breech
