It means civilian clothing. It began in England, so only God knows what it truly means.

Mufti is the term for any "out of uniform" clothes. I went to boarding school and anything other than our uniforms was also called mufti.
Don't know where it originated, though.

I means wearing civilian clothes. I don't know where it comes from but I suspect it is a Hindi word or from one of the Indian languages as a lot of army slang is
