| 释义 | apparel (once / 847 pages) nv Apparel is just another word for what you wear. Hopefully the apparel you wear to work — suits and heels — is very different from the apparel you wear on the weekends — pajama pants and bunny slippers. The noun apparel got its start from the Latin apparare, meaning to “prepare, make ready,” or ad-particulare, meaning “to put things together.” In the mid 13th century it evolved into a verb meaning “to equip.” It wasn’t until the next century that people began to use apparel as both a verb meaning “to attire” and as a noun meaning garments or clothing. Said 17th century British writer Thomas Fuller, “…Apparel shapes: but it's money that finishes the man.” WORD FAMILYapparel: appareled, appareling, apparelled, apparelling, apparels+/appareled: unappareled USAGE EXAMPLESThe choir in the 300 level loft is robed in matching apparel.
