Etymology: "Garmented" is simply "garment" with the adjective-forming ending "-ed" attached, so it means "dressed in clothing" or "wearing a garment." The base word, "garment," comes from Old French "garnement," a noun for equipment or furnishings, which is itself linked to the verb "garnir," meaning to furnish, equip or provide. Over time "garment" narrowed from general gear to clothing, and the "-ed" ending turned it into a description of someone or something wearing such clothing.
Synonyms: clothed, dressed
