The process of putting on or donning clothing, garments, or biological structures; the state of being clothed.
From Greek 'endysis' meaning 'putting on' or 'dressing,' from 'endyein' (to clothe or dress). Related to 'endyma' through the same Greek root meaning to cover or envelop.
This is the opposite of 'exdysis' (undressing or molting), and the term is occasionally used in entomology to describe when insects don a new exoskeleton after molting.
