Attiring

/əˈtaɪərɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The act of dressing or clothing someone; putting on clothes or ornaments.

Etymology

From attire (Old French attirer) + -ing (present participle suffix). The word appears in English literature from the 14th century onward to describe the action of dressing.

Kelly Says

In Shakespeare's plays, 'attiring' often appears in theatrical contexts—'the attiring of the actors'—because costumes were seen as a key way to communicate character and rank instantly to the audience, just like a modern movie.
