Word origin
The word 'ornate' has its origins in the Latin word 'ornatus', which means 'adorned'. It entered the English language in the late 14th century, originally used to describe highly decorated objects or elaborate designs. Over time, 'ornate' has come to represent anything that is excessively decorated or embellished, whether in physical design or language.
