Word Origin & Etymology
Formed in the late 16th century from the intensive prefix 'be-' and the verb 'dazzle' (a frequentative form of 'daze', from Old Norse 'dasa'). The sense of decorating garments with rhinestones popularized in the late 20th century derives from the trademarked craft device 'Bedazzler'.
