A rare or archaic verb meaning to dress or clothe someone, especially in particular garments or costume.
From prefix 'en-' plus 'garb' (from Italian 'garbbo' or Spanish 'garbo', meaning grace or elegance in dress). The word is largely obsolete but appears in historical and literary texts.
The word 'garb' (now we just say 'dressed in military garb') originally meant an elegant, graceful way of dressing from Italian—so 'engarb' would have meant to make someone look elegant, which is exactly what good tailors still do!
