    [Noun]  | "garb" | \ ˈgärb \


    1: fashion, manner

    2: a style of apparel

    3: outward form : appearance

    Origin: 1600 ;

     Borrowed from Middle French & Italian; Middle French garbe "graceful contour, grace," borrowed from Italian garbo "grace, charm, good manners, form, outline of a ship's hull made from wood pieces," of uncertain origin ;

      * Note : If the sense "outline of a ship's hull" is prior to the more abstract senses, the modern Italian word probably continues an earlier etymon represented by (alleged) medieval Genoese dialect garibu in the sense "model of a hull," itself ultimately a loan from Arabic qālib "mold, shoemaker's last" (see: {caliber|caliber}); details of attestation are thus far incompletely documented, however. An earlier hypothesis connecting garbo (and the related verb garbare "to be becoming to, please") to Germanic *garwjan- "to prepare, make ready" (presumably via Gothic; see: {gear:1|gear:1}, {yare|yare}) is questionable on semantic and phonetic grounds.;
