Etymology
The word 'outfit' has its origins in the early 19th century, derived from the combination of the 'out' prefix and 'fit', meaning to prepare or provide. Originally, it referred to the act of providing for a journey or enterprise. Over time, the term evolved to encompass not only the act of supplying equipment or clothing but also the complete set of clothes, accessories, and gear that one might need for a particular purpose or activity. As language evolved, so did the applications of 'outfit', which can now refer to outfitting individuals or groups for any number of scenarios, from recreational activities to professional environments.
