Etymology

The word 'habiliment' comes from the Latin word 'habilis,' meaning 'able' or 'easy to handle.' It evolved through Middle English as 'habiliment' and has been used since the 14th century to indicate clothing or attire. Historically, habiliment suggested more than just functional clothing โ€“ it often represented one's social status or occupation, closely aligning attire with identity. The usage of the term in literature, particularly in works from the Renaissance period, underscores the connection between clothing and character, as authors examined how dress affected perceptions and behaviors in society. Over time, the term has maintained its association with specialized clothing, but it has also broadened to encompass various forms of attire.
