Etymology
The word 'spangled' derives from the Middle English word 'spanglen,' which means to sprinkle or scatter. It has its roots in the Old English term 'spear,' indicating something that shoots or sparks. Over time, 'spangled' evolved to describe the way light reflects off shiny surfaces, much like stars in the night sky. The term captures both the visual impact of brightness and the embellishing of surfaces, making it popular in fashion and decorative arts. Spangled items are often associated with celebration and festivity, thus carrying a connotation of joy and beauty.
