DAY 298 of 365 Days of Literacy for Kids:

Obsolete words are no longer in general use and may have fallen out of favor for nearly a century or more, but who says obsolete and rarely used words can’t be revived by kids who love words?

Today’s word is HABILIMENT, meaning personal attire, outfit, equipment, dress.

The word habiliment derives from the French habile, meaning to fit, and is documented all the way back to the 15th century.

Kids will love the word habiliment because it’s an awesome way to discuss personal attire/clothing. 

Use the word habiliment with your kids and grandkids today to discuss clothing choices.  Look for all manners of habiliment during this Halloween season!

Join me each day here for OCTOBER OBSOLETE – 365 DAYS OF LITERACY FOR KIDS! – fun, easy and completely do-able!
