Word origin
The word 'outfitting' originated from the verb 'outfit,' which has been in use since the mid-18th century. Originally used in a nautical context to refer to the equipment and supplies needed for a ship, it later expanded to include clothing and gear for various activities. The term evolved to encompass the act of providing someone or something with necessary items, leading to the modern usage of 'outfitting' in both the verb and noun forms.
