Bemedalled

/bɪˈmɛdəld/ adjective

Definition

Decorated with or wearing many medals, typically military honors or awards.

Etymology

From the prefix 'be-' (making something or covering with something) plus 'medalled,' the past tense of 'medal.' The 'be-' prefix was productive in English for creating verbs and adjectives throughout history, often intensifying or emphasizing the quality of the root word.

Kelly Says

The prefix 'be-' was once incredibly common in English—Shakespeare used hundreds of 'be-' words—but most have faded away. 'Bemedalled' is a survivor, likely kept alive because military dress uniforms are so visually striking with their ribbons and honors.
