What does ATTIRE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Clothes worn for a particular occasion, especially fine, formal, or elaborate ones.
Attire covers what a person wears for a specific purpose, and the word usually signals something more considered than everyday clothes. Wedding attire, court attire and formal attire all describe an outfit chosen to fit an occasion rather than casual wear thrown on without thought. The word can also work as a verb, so a person may attire themselves for a ceremony, though the noun use is far more common today. English borrowed attire from Old French, where a related word described arranging or equipping something, and that sense of ordered readiness still shows in modern uses like battle attire.
How ATTIRE is used
Fairly formal; typical in invitations, style guides and descriptions of ceremonial or professional dress rather than in casual talk about clothes.
