Etymology of GARDEROBE

The word "garderobe" has a combination of French and Old English origins.

The term "garderobe" originated from the French word "garde-robe", which literally translates to "guardrobe" or "clothes-ward". It was originally used to refer to a room or a designated space in a house where garments and personal belongings were stored and safeguarded.

The French term itself has further roots in Old French and comes from the combination of "garde" meaning "to guard" and "robe" meaning "garment" or "robe". The "garde" element relates to the idea of protection or preservation, indicating that the space was used to protect and preserve clothing.

The Old English equivalent of "garderobe" was "gearde-robe", with a similar meaning. "Gearde" relates to the concept of protecting or guarding, while "robe" again means "garment".
