Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'watchtower'): from Old French garite, from garir (see garrison).

‘Watchtower’ was the first meaning recorded for garret. It comes from Old French garite, which (like ME garrison) is from garir ‘to defend, provide’. The word's use for a room on the top floor of a house arose early in its history, in the late 15th century.
