Habilimental

/ˌhæbɪlɪˈmɛntəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or concerning clothing, garments, or dress.

Etymology

From habiliment plus the suffix -al (relating to). This rare adjective was formed in English to create an academic term for anything involving clothing or garments.

Kelly Says

This is one of those words that scholars invent but almost nobody actually uses—it shows up occasionally in academic papers about fashion history or textiles, sounding impossibly formal for something as simple as 'clothing-related.'
