SUIT

n.[L. sequor. See Seek. In Law Latin, secta is from the same source. ] Literally, a following; and so used in the old English statutes. 1. Consecution; succession; series; regular order; as the same kind and suit of weather. [Not now so applied. ]
2. A set; a number of things used together, and in a degree necessary to be united, in order to answer the purpose; as a suit of curtains; a suit of armor; sometimes with less dependence of the particular parts on each other, but still united in use; as a suit of clothes; a suit of apartments.
3. A set of the same kind or stamp, as a suit of cards.
4. Retinue; a company or number of attendants or followers; attendance; train; as a nobleman and his suit. [This is sometimes pronounced as a French word, sweet; but in all its senses, this is the same word, and the affectation of making it French in one use and English in another, is improper, not to say ridiculous. ]
5. A petition; a seeking for something by petition or application.
Many shall make suit to thee. Job 11:19.
6. Solicitation of a woman in marriage; courtship.
7. In law, an action or process for the recovery of a right or claim; legal application to a court for justice; prosecution of right before any tribunal; as a civil suit; a criminal suit; a suit in chancery.
In England, the several suits or remedial instruments of justice, are distinguished into three kinds, actions personal, real, and mixed.
8. Pursuit; prosecution; chase.
Suit and service, in feudal law, the duty of feudatories to attend the courts of their lords or superiors in time of peace, and in war, to follow them and perform military service.
To bring suit, a phrase in law, denoting literally to bring secta, followers or witnesses to prove the plaintif's demand. The phrase is antiquated, or rather it has changed its signification; for to bring a suit, now is to institute an action.
Out of suits, having no correspondence.

suitcase

suitcase noun the old brown suitcase had survived two ocean voyages and more train and bus trips than she could ever calculate: travel bag, traveling bag, case, valise, overnight case, portmanteau, vanity case, garment bag, backpack, duffel bag; (suitcases ) luggage, baggage. WORD NOTE portmanteau The image is arresting: a room in a Days Inn beside some endless American highway, and a soft-sided carrying case flung onto the bed by the weary traveler. There are two potential uses here of the term portmanteau —one of them forgotten, the other, generally unknown. The suitcase provides the first: the word portmanteau comes initially from the title of the French servant who carried the princely mantle, the clothes or raiment that were to be worn on the morrow. From clothes-carrying servant to clothes-carrying bag the word then evolved, until by the middle of the sixteenth century it had assumed the meaning "a suitcase. " Sadly for so pretty a word it is a form seldom used today, with the inelegant garment bag assuming its role in all but the most pretentious situations (one imagines Ritz-Carlton Hotels, one of whose slogans is "Ladies and Gentlemen Serving Ladies and Gentlemen," expected their guests to own portmanteaus, or even portmanteaux ). The suitcase is not all, however: the very building that houses the aforesaid bedroom has an even less familiar association with the word. A Days Inn is technically what is called a motel, and this word, it is often forgotten, is a grammatical construction that welds two together two words — motor and hotel —to give us a wholly new word that is properly described as a portmanteau term. Lewis Carroll was the inventor of the genre, of words which, just like the suitcase, pack things up together —and he formed familiar constructions such as slithy (from slimy and lithe ), and mimsy (from flimsy and miserable ). Luggage becomes grammar, in one easy step. — SW Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
