Dressed or clothed in; wearing particular clothing or garments. Often used in literary or formal contexts to describe what someone is wearing.
From Old French 'apareil,' related to Latin 'apparare' (to prepare, make ready). The word originally meant 'to make ready or prepare.' By extension, 'preparing' oneself with clothes became 'clothing.' The past tense 'appareled' became an adjective describing a clothed state.
