haberdashery \HAB-er-dash-uh-ree\, noun:

1. a retail shop dealing in men's furnishings, as shirts, ties, gloves, socks, and hats.
2. the goods sold there.

This delightful-sounding word possibly comes to English from the Anglo-Norman hapertas meaning "small ware," though the origin is unknown. Haberdashery first entered English in the early 1400s, though the term for the proprietor of this kind of shop or these kinds of goods, a haberdasher predates haberdashery by 100 years.
