Hank Taylor Posted June 8, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Surprised, shouldn't be "man of the cloth" was thus originally applied to mean any livery, any clothes that distinguished a profession. Thus a Tailor or or seamstresses who made clothes for his master (I found this interesting next very interesting ) The next major step in the history is back in the days when royalty and nobility provided livery, namely, clothes for a servant. (Aside: The term "livery" itself derives from "delivery"; the clothes were delivered to the servant by the master. Another aside: The competition was so intense amongst the nobility for having splendidly dressed servants that Henry VII prosecuted nobles who gave liveries.) Welcome, dear visitor!
