Word origin
The word 'garish' originated from the Middle English word 'garisshen', meaning to embellish or decorate. Over time, it evolved to describe something excessively bright or showy, often in a tasteless manner. The use of garish colors or decorations can be traced back to the late 16th century, where it was associated with extravagant and ostentatious displays.
