Decorated with designs that resemble flowers or plants.
The floriated patterns on the vase made it look very elegant.
Floriated is formed from "flor" (from Latin "flos", meaning flower) and "-ated" (a suffix indicating a state or condition). The word describes something that is decorated with flowers or floral designs.
Imagine something that is in a 'flower' state — 'flor' means flower, and '-ated' suggests it is adorned or decorated. This helps you remember that 'floriated' refers to something embellished with floral patterns.
