Etymology: "Accoutres" is the third-person singular present form of "accoutre", which means to equip someone with clothing or gear, usually for a specific activity. Its roots lie in the Old French "acoustrer", meaning to dress or arrange, built on "coustre", a tailor or seamstress, which in turn comes from Latin "consutor", a sewer-together. The original idea was therefore literally stitching or making garments, and the sense of fitting someone out for a task grew naturally from that.
