Why do we call what is modesty holiness?

I have no idea. Perhaps because we Pentecostals often appear to the rest of the world to dress in a similar fashion to those who attend Wesleyan Holiness churches?

Where did this originate?

I'm interested too.
To me, holiness is purity of heart, a constant attitude of repentance and desire to do God's will and reflect God's love.
To me, modesty is just what Prax has shown us from yonder dictionary. Polite, discreet, genteel conversation. Not flaunting our earthly bodies or earthly wealth, since it all comes from God and He can take it right back again.
