Root Explanation

Bejeweled is formed from "be-" (meaning to make or cause to be) and "jewel" (from Old French *juel*, meaning a precious stone or ornament). The word describes something that has been made to be adorned with jewels or precious stones.

Memory Tip

Think of 'making something adorned' ('be-') with 'jewels' — that's why bejeweled means something that is decorated with jewels.
