覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
outfits は outfit「一式の服装」の規則的な複数形で、語末の -s は無声音 /t/ の後なので /s/ と発音します。一着だけでなく、上下や靴などを組み合わせたセットを数え、three outfits、wear bright outfits、pack outfits のような場面で覚えましょう。
Outfits is the regular plural of outfit, and its final -s is pronounced /s/ after the voiceless /t/ sound. Think of each outfit as one coordinated set of clothes rather than one separate item such as a shirt. This makes phrases such as three outfits, pack several outfits, and wear bright outfits easy to picture. Clothes is a broad collective term for garments, while outfits emphasizes particular combinations selected for a weekend, an event, work, or a stage performance.

outfits の語源・成り立ち Etymology
out（外へ）+ fit（適合させる）から成り、元は「旅や仕事のために必要な道具一式を揃えること」を意味した。fitは古英語の「配置する」に由来し、装備→衣装一式へと意味が変化した。関連語：outfit（動詞：装備する）、fitting（適合）。
Outfit is formed from out and fit and is closely connected with the expression fit out, meaning to provide everything needed for a journey, job, or purpose. It first referred to the act of equipping or to a complete set of equipment and supplies. The sense later narrowed in many contexts to a complete set of clothing. Outfits is its regular plural form.
