Definitions

1. Dressed or equipped, particularly for military or ceremonial purposes, including the essential gear or apparel needed for a specific function
2. Clothed or armed, especially in a formal or functional manner, showcasing the necessary attire and equipment for a role
3. Furnished with the required clothing and accessories, particularly in a context related to battle or formal occasions, indicating preparedness and readiness

Etymology: The verb shares its root with "accouter," the older and more common spelling in English, which was borrowed from French "accoutrer," itself formed from "a-" plus a word for dress or equipment. Over time the sense narrowed from general equipping toward the image of a person fitted out in a specific uniform or kit, such as a soldier in full gear.
