The work of making or adjusting clothes to fit a person, or customizing something to suit specific needs.
From tailor, which comes from Old French tailleur (cutter), from tailler (to cut). A tailor literally cuts fabric to shape.
The word 'tailor' comes from the same root as 'detail'—both mean 'to cut into pieces'—so tailoring is precision cutting adapted to each individual body.
