Origin of the word bedeck

"Bedeck" comes from the Old English word "bedeccan," which itself is a combination of "be-" (meaning "to") and "deccan" (meaning "to cover"). The "be-" prefix is common in English, indicating a change in state, while "deccan" likely derived from the Proto-Germanic word "dakjan," meaning "to hide" or "to cover." Therefore, "bedeck" literally meant "to cover completely" or "to adorn with something," which aligns with its modern meaning of decorating or embellishing something.
