Flowered

/ˈflaʊərd/ adjective, verb

Definition

Decorated with flower patterns or designs; or the past tense of producing flowers or blooming.

Etymology

From 'flower,' which comes from Old French 'flor' and Latin 'flos.' The '-ed' suffix creates either an adjective describing something with flowers or the past tense of the verb to flower.

Kelly Says

Plants 'flowering' and humans 'flowering' (reaching their peak potential) use the same word because both metaphors recognize that flowers are nature's moment of maximum beauty and peak potential before the cycle turns!
