Accoutrement
Manage episode 285969370 series 2492929
Accoutrement is a noun that refers to an additional item of dress.
Our word of the day comes directly from French, where it means ‘clothing.’ But its English counterpart refers more specifically to ‘additional clothing.’ For example: The difficult thing about being a boy scout is remembering to bring all those accoutrements to every meeting. I forgot to bring my bandana once and that people didn’t like that.
