Equipment, clothing, armor, or furnishings; also can mean to prepare or make ready, especially in Scottish English.
From Old Norse 'greiðr' (ready, prepared) and 'grata' (to prepare). The word entered Northern English and Scottish dialects through Viking settlement and remained in use for nearly a thousand years.
This ancient Norse word survived the Norman conquest—most Old Norse words disappeared from English, but 'graith' held on in Scottish speech because it described essential warrior equipment.
