n.f. 
clothing, dress, garb; vestments (ecclesiastic; Chr.); (complete) suit of clothes; (Western) suit – WehrCowan1979.

▪ DRS 9 (2010)#ḤLL-4: Syr ḥellā ‘voile’, Ar ḥullaẗ ‘robe, manteau’ 
▪ Accord to DRS, the item is related to the complex of *‘to untie, release, purify’, treated under under ↗ḤLː (ḤLL) and ↗ḥalla (ḥall). DRS remains silent, however, about how ‘clothing, garb, dress, suit’ should be derived from *‘to untie, release, purify’, etc.
▪ Fraenkel1886 thinks Ar ḥullaẗ is probably from Syr ḥellā ‘garment of fine linen’1 .
