sheath

When used as a noun, 'sheath' usually refers to something that fits tightly around an object for protection or style. In fashion, a "sheath dress" is a specific term for a form-fitting dress, typically knee-length, and is considered professional or formal attire. As a verb, 'sheathe' (spelled with an 'e' at the end) is the action of putting something into a sheath. Note that while 'sheath' is the object, 'sheathe' is the action.
