VESTURE Meaning and Definition

  1. Vesture is a noun that refers to clothing, garments, or attire, particularly those worn by a person or group of individuals. It encompasses a broad range of garments, both outerwear and undergarments, that are used to cover and decorate the body.

    In religious or ceremonial contexts, such as during religious services or rituals, vesture often refers to the special garments worn by clergy or religious officials. These garments are distinct and symbolic, representing their respective religious traditions, such as vestments worn by priests, bishops, or other religious leaders.

    Vesture can also be used metaphorically to describe something that appears to clothe or envelop a person or object. For example, one might refer to the majestic mountains as being "clothed in the vesture of snow," implying that the snow covers and beautifies the landscape.

    The term vesture is derived from the Latin word "vestis," meaning clothing or garment. It has been in use since Middle English and has evolved to encompass various meanings and applications over time.

    Overall, vesture serves as a general term that encompasses clothing, garments, and attire, but it can also carry specific religious or ceremonial connotations, as well as metaphorical usages to describe the covering or decoration of something or someone.
