Etymology
The word 'bejewel' is derived from the prefix 'be-' which typically means 'to make' or 'to cause to be,' and the noun 'jewel,' which comes from the Old French 'juel' and can be traced further back to Latin 'jocale,' meaning 'plaything.' The combination reflects the act of enhancing an object by adding jewels, thus transforming it into something more precious and appealing. The use of jewels has been prevalent in various cultures for centuries, often symbolizing wealth, power, and beauty. Over time, to bejewel something has come to encompass not just the act of placing jewels on items, but also symbolizes the importance of adornment in art, fashion, and personal identity.
