But what does "ghillie" mean?

This Anglo-Saxon word refers to a type of clothing, coming from the Gaelic Scottish word ‘ghille’, where some young boys prohibited fishing and wild hunting in Scotland.

The first element known from the use of the ghillit suit is that it was worn by a WW2 military unit deployed by the British army sniper’s unit called Lovat Scouts.

In any case, during the WW1, soldiers used materials adapting them to their uniforms and fading easily into the background.
