In th'abiliments Murray (N. E. D.): Obsolete form of Habiliment, used in all the senses, but especially in those of warlike munitions and accoutrements, things which fitted out or made able for war.—Ibid. (s. v. Habiliment, 4 plural): The apparel, vestments or garments appropriate to any office or occasion. (In this sense initial h has always prevailed; the connection with able, ability, being less obvious, and that with modern French habit, habillement more so.)
