Bediamonded

/ˌbɛdɪˈæməndɪd/ adjective

Definition

Decorated or studded with diamonds; adorned with diamond-like gems.

Etymology

From 'be-' (prefix) + 'diamonded' (covered with diamonds). This poetic formation was used by Renaissance and Romantic-era writers to describe glittering, precious surfaces.

Kelly Says

Shakespeare and his contemporaries loved these 'be-' words—they could turn almost any noun into an adjective (bedazzled, bediamonded, bejeweled) to create vivid imagery of wealth and beauty!
