Etymology

The word "wardrobe" originated in Middle English as warderobe, borrowed from Old Northern French warderobe (a compound of warder "to guard" + robe "garment"). It initially referred to a room where clothing and valuables were stored under guard, reflecting its literal sense of "guarding garments." Over time, the meaning shifted to the storage furniture itself and later metaphorically to a person's collection of clothing.
