    The origin of bespoke:

    The word ‘bespoke‘ comes from the English verb ‘bespeak,‘ meaning ‘to speak for,‘ ‘to arrange for in advance,‘ or ‘to order.‘ It originated in the 16th century, when ‘bespoke‘ was used to describe clothing or goods that were ordered or commissioned by a customer. Over time, the word evolved to encompass any custom-made or specially tailored product or service, and it is now commonly used to describe anything that has been designed or created to meet a specific individual's needs or preferences.
