Etymology

The word 'bedeck' has its origins in the Middle English term 'bedecken', which is a combination of 'be-' (meaning 'about' or 'around') and 'dekken' (meaning 'to cover'). This earlier term can be traced back to the Old English word 'decen', which means 'to cover' or 'to conceal'. The evolution of the word reflects the act of surrounding or enhancing an object or space with decorative coverings. Over the centuries, 'bedeck' became associated with more festive and decorative contexts, especially in English literature and poetry, where it was frequently used to describe the adornment of places for celebration or ornamentation. Today, it is still widely used in both formal and informal contexts to refer to the act of decorating, particularly when the decoration is elaborate or grand.
