Definition
Something used as decoration; an ornament or decorative element added to enhance appearance.
Etymology
From Latin decoramentum, formed from decorare (to adorn) + -mentum (noun-forming suffix indicating result or means). This suffix pattern also appears in words like instrument and sacrament. The term was used in English particularly during the Renaissance when discussing architectural and artistic embellishments.
Kelly Says
Medieval and Renaissance architects loved Latin-based words ending in -mentum for describing materials and techniques, which is why decorament sounds so formal and grand—it suggests something worthy of attention rather than just 'decoration,' reminding us that ornament was once considered serious intellectual work.
