Wardrobe Clothes Meaning Meant Entire Room Clothing Don’t

英语单词 wardrobe
英美音标 ['wɔ:drəub]
中文释义 n.衣柜,衣厨,衣室,衣服,行头,剧装
vocab简明 All of the clothes in your closet make up your wardrobe. If you're tired of your wardrobe, it just might be time to go shopping.
vocab扩展 From the words warder, meaning “to protect”, and robe, meaning a “piece of clothing,” wardrobe originally meant an entire room where a person's clothing was stored. Nowadays, most people don’t have an entire room for their clothes, so the word wardrobe has downsized to just a large cabinet, or the clothing itself. A wardrobe can also be the costumes (or the costume department) of a theater company or movie.
真题原句 Those labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposal—— meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that——and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks.
