adj. adorned with decorative elements
vt. past tense of "decorate" (to add ornamentation)
The word "decorated" stems from the Latin decoratus (past participle of decorare, "to adorn"), derived from decus (genitive decoris), meaning "ornament" or "honor." The root decor- conveys beauty or embellishment, while -ed marks the past tense or adjectival form in English.
