costume

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from French costume, from Italian costume, from Latin consuētūdō (“custom, habit”). Doublet of consuetude, custom, and kastom. Verb circa 1802, perhaps modelled on French costumer. === Pronunciation === (UK, noun, verb) IPA(key): /ˈkɒs.tjuːm/, /ˈkɒs.t͡ʃuːm/ (General American, noun) IPA(key): /ˈkɑsˌt(j)um/, /ˈkɑsˌt͡ʃum/, /ˈkɑs.tʊm/, /ˈkɑs.təm/ (General American, verb) IPA(key): /kɑsˈt(j)um/, /kɑsˈt͡ʃum/, /ˈkɑsˌt(j)um/, /ˈkɑsˌt͡ʃum/, /ˈkɑs.tʊm/, /ˈkɑs.təm/ Rhymes: (noun, verb) -ɒstum, -ɒstjum, -ɒstʃum, -ɒstʊm, -ɒstəm, (verb) -uːm === Noun === costume (countable and uncountable, plural costumes) A style of dress, including garments, accessories and hairstyle, especially as characteristic of a particular country, period or people. An outfit or a disguise worn as fancy dress etc. A set of clothes appropriate for a particular occasion or season. A swimming costume. ==== Usage notes ==== Despite the meaning "traditional clothes," costume may be considered pejorative by some cultures as a reference to their own traditional dress, owing to interference from the sense "fancy dress, disguise" (such as if their traditional dress has often been appropriated by others as fancy dress). For example, many Indigenous North Americans disfavour the term costume to refer to their traditional and ritual garments and prefer the term regalia. ==== Synonyms ==== getup outfit ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== customary custom ==== Translations ==== ==== See also ==== uniform === Verb === costume (third-person singular simple present costumes, present participle costuming, simple past and past participle costumed) To dress or adorn with a costume or appropriate garb. ==== Derived terms ==== recostume ==== Translations ==== === References === === Further reading === “costume”, in Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, Springfield, Mass.: G. & C.
