Etymology
The term 'bejewelling' is derived from the prefix 'be-' which implies coverage or completion, combined with the word 'jewel'. The word 'jewel' traces back to the Old French 'jouel', which itself comes from the Latin 'jocale', meaning 'plaything'. This historical progression illustrates how this act of decoration originally was linked to adornment for pleasure or status. Over time, bejewelling evolved to refer specifically to the practice of applying jewels and other ornate decorations to various items, cementing its place in the world of fashion and design. The concept of using precious materials for decoration has roots in ancient civilizations, emphasizing wealth and artistry.
