trousseau \TROO-soh, troo-SOH\, noun:
  • an outfit of clothing, household linen, etc., for a bride.
Trousseau entered English from the Old French trousse meaning "bundle." In the 1200s it was used to describe a bundle of keys, and it was not until the 1800s that it came to mean the clothes and linens of a bride.
