Etymology of ACCOUTRE

The word "accoutre" has a French origin. It comes from the Old French term "acoutrer", which meant "to equip, to dress" in the late 15th century. The word was derived from the combination of the prefix "a-" (meaning "to") and the Old French word "cousture" (meaning "seam, stitch" or figuratively "dress, costume"). Eventually, "acoutrer" evolved into "accoutre" in English, retaining its meaning of equipping or dressing oneself.
