Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the noun 'custom', meaning a habitual practice or made to order, combined with the past participle of 'make' (from Old English 'macian'). Originally used in the late 18th century to describe clothing tailored specifically for an individual client, it gradually expanded to cover any product built to a buyer's specific requirements.
