Etymology:
Meaning:
A trousseau is a collection of clothing, linens, and other items that a bride brings to her new home after her wedding.
Origin:
The term "trousseau" originated in the 14th century, when it referred to a bundle of clothes or other belongings that a person would carry with them on a journey. Over time, the term became specifically associated with the collection of items that a bride would bring to her new home.
In the past, the trousseau was an important part of a bride's marital status. It represented her preparation for married life and her ability to make a home for her family. The contents of the trousseau varied depending on the bride's social status and the customs of her region.
Today, the trousseau is still a tradition in some cultures, but it is less common than in the past. Many brides now choose to purchase items for their new home together, rather than having a separate trousseau.
