wardrobe
n.
cabinet or small room for holding clothes; collection of clothes or costumes
Wardrobe
A wardrobe (sometimes called an "armoire") is a
cabinet used for storing
clothes. The earliest wardrobe was a
chest, and it was not until some degree of luxury was attained in regal
palaces and the
castles of powerful nobles that separate accommodation was provided for the sumptuous
apparel of the great. The name of wardrobe was then given to a room in which the wall-space was filled with
cupboards and lockers, the
drawer being a comparatively modern invention. From these cupboards and
lockers the modern wardrobe, with its hanging spaces, sliding
shelves and drawers, evolved slowly.
