Origin:
The word "bedizen" originated in the Old French phrase beder et der, which literally means "to brighten and to do." This phrase was used to describe the act of dressing up in an elaborate or showy way. It was later borrowed into Anglo-Norman French as bederisser and then into Middle English as bedizen.
The word has been used in English since the 14th century, and its meaning has remained relatively consistent over time. It is often used to describe someone who is dressed in a flamboyant or over-the-top manner.
