An archaic or rare noun referring to a garment or the act of clothing; possibly a variant of 'garment.'
From prefix 'en-' plus 'garment' (from Old French 'garniment', meaning equipment or clothing, from 'garnir' meaning to furnish). This form is primarily historical and rarely used in modern English.
This word shows how -en could be added to nouns in older English to create verbs ('engarment' as a noun of the action), but the pattern didn't stick—we say 'dressing' not 'endressing'!
