FURNITURE
A wardrobe is called a wardrobe because historically, a "closet" or "wardrobe" was a large piece of furniture, often 6-foot high or taller. Historically, bedrooms did not have a separate room called a "closet" as homes have now.
Most wardrobes had two doors; some had only one door. On the outside of one door, a full-length mirror may have been attached (some wardrobes had no mirror).
Inside, was a rod as all modern closets have still. Clothes were hung on wooden hangers with a metal hook at the top.
The bottom of a wardrobe was deep enough to store other clothing, shoes, or several full-size blankets.
Because of their hefty size and weight, wardrobes were rarely moved around in a room.
CLOTHING
As closets replaced the piece of furniture called "wardrobe", the term became associated with the clothing that once filled wardrobes (e.g. the furniture).
Now, a "wardrobe" refers to a collection or assortment of clothing, shoes, and accessories.
