Origin:
The word "adorn" ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *h₁derə-, meaning "to provide." This root is also found in the words "door" (a way to provide access) and "dower" (a gift provided to a bride).
The Latin verb adornāre literally means "to furnish or provide with something." It was often used to describe the act of decorating or beautifying people, places, or things.
In Old French, the word adourner retained a similar meaning. It could refer to the act of adorning oneself with clothing or jewelry, or to the act of decorating a room or building.
The English word "adorn" was borrowed from Old French in the 13th century. It originally meant "to furnish or equip with something," but gradually shifted to its current meaning of "to decorate or beautify."
