One garment, infinite arguments about whether it was blue, black, gold, or white.
means A one-piece garment, typically worn by women, that combines a top and skirt; also, the verb meaning to put clothes on oneself or another.
from From Old French 'dresser,' meaning to arrange, prepare, or set straight, which traces back to Latin 'directus,' the past participle of 'dirigere' — to direct or make straight (the same root that gives us 'direct' and 'address'). So 'dress' began as the act of putting things in proper order; only later did it narrow to putting cloth on the body, and later still to the specific garment itself. The thread runs from 'set things right' to 'set yourself right with clothes.'
