Garmenting

/ˈɡɑːrməntɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The act of making, providing, or putting on garments.

Etymology

From garment + -ing present participle. Represents the verbal noun form showing garment as an ongoing action rather than just a noun.

Kelly Says

While 'garmenting' is uncommon now, in the medieval textile industry it was a key word—the 'garmenting trades' were an entire economic sector, and this single word compressed the complexity of making cloth into clothing.
