Word origin

The word 'apparelling' derives from the Middle English term 'apparel', which means clothing or attire. It traces its roots to the Old French word 'apariel' (meaning 'equipment, dress'), which itself comes from the Latin 'adparamentum', meaning 'an apparatus, equipment'. The evolution of the term reflects the changing nature of clothing through history, from functional garments to a significant aspect of personal expression and style. In modern English, 'apparel' has come to refer specifically to fashionable clothing, while 'apparelling' encompasses the broader context of dressing and preparing oneself with garments. Its usage in contemporary discourse emphasizes not just the act of wearing clothes but also the importance of fashion in social contexts.
