Decorated with lozenges (diamond-shaped figures, especially in heraldry); covered with lozenge patterns.
From 'be-' (prefix meaning 'to cover, adorn') + 'lozenged' (decorated with lozenges). Lozenges themselves come from Old French 'losange,' originally meaning a 'small stone' or geometric shape.
Lozenges show up everywhere in medieval heraldry and architecture—the diamond pattern was so popular it became a status symbol on shields and castle walls. The shape is naturally eye-catching and geometrically efficient, which is probably why our brains think it looks fancy and important.
