The word "bedecked" is derived from the Old English word "bedecian" which means "to adorn" or "to deck out". It can be further broken down into "be-" which is a prefix indicating intensification or completion, and "decian" which means "to cover" or "to clothe". Thus, "bedecked" can be understood as "completely covered" or "adorned". The addition of "more" as a prefix in "more bedecked" simply indicates a higher degree or extent of being adorned or decorated.
