Bras are called brassieres.

[Origin: 1910–15; < F brassière bodice worn as an undergarment to support the breasts (now obs. in this sense), MF bracieres camisole, OF: armor for the arms, equiv. to bras arm (see brace) + -ière, suffix added to body part nouns, the resultant deriv. denoting an article for that part < L -āria -ary]

Are you serious?! anyway, it’s an abbreviation to brassiere

came from an obsolete French brassière bodice, from Old French braciere arm protector, from bras arm
