Etymology

The term 'accoutering' derives from the Old French 'acoutrer', meaning 'to fit out' or 'to equip'. The word evolved in English around the late 17th century, initially used to refer to military gear specifically. Over time, it expanded to encompass various types of equipment required for specific tasks or professions, but it remains closely tied to military contexts. The evolution reflects a broader trend during that period where the organization and standardization of military forces were becoming increasingly important, leading to the development of standardized equipment and uniforms.
