Etymology

The word 'apparelled' comes from the Old French word 'apariel', which means 'to equip or adorn'. This term evolved into the Middle English 'apparelle', which retains the essence of dressing or adornment. Over the centuries, apparel and its various forms have been used in English to describe not only clothing but also the broader concept of dressing oneself. The suffix '-ed' indicates a completed action, suggesting that the subject is fully clothed. The use of 'apparel' in this context reflects a certain formality and is often associated with specific occasions or styles of clothing.
