The term 'costume' comes from the French word 'costume', which originally meant 'a manner of dressing' or 'a style of dress'. Its Latin origin can be traced back to 'consuetudo', meaning 'custom', which reflects the cultural practices related to dressing in different societies. Over time, 'costumed' evolved to describe individuals adorned in specific costumes, particularly in theatrical performances, celebrations, and during festive occasions. As the concept of dressing for roles or events became popular, the usage of 'costumed' expanded in various contexts, reflecting creativity and cultural significance.
