Erreur fréquente :
Learners may think "raiment" is a normal, modern word for clothes and try to use it in everyday speech or writing. In modern English, this sounds strange or joking; it should be reserved for literary, biblical, or deliberately old-fashioned style. Learners may also confuse it with "garment" or assume it has a special religious meaning, but it simply means clothing in a formal or archaic way.
