People who make or alter clothes, or the act of adjusting something to fit someone's specific needs.
From Old French 'tailleur' meaning 'one who cuts', derived from 'taille' (to cut). The word evolved to mean both the person and the action of customizing garments or services.
The word 'tailor' comes from 'cut' because tailors literally cut fabric to fit individual bodies—and that's why we say 'tailor-made' for anything personalized, not just clothing!
