Definition of tailored

The word "tailored" has its roots in the Old English word "tægl", which means "needle" or "seam". This word is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*tagilaz", which is also the source of the Modern German word " Nähtel" or "Nähte", meaning "sew". In the 14th century, the word "tailor" emerged as a noun, referring to a person who makes or sells garments. The verb "to tailor" developed later, around the 16th century, and initially meant "to make or repair clothes". Over time, the meaning of "tailored" expanded to describe clothing that is well-fitted or custom-made, often with a focus on quality and precision. Today, the word "tailored" is commonly used to describe not only clothing, but also services, plans, or solutions that are carefully crafted to meet specific needs or requirements.
