flowered の語源・成り立ち Etymology
flowered は flower＋-ed。flower は古フランス語 flor / flour、さらにラテン語 florem（flos「花」）にさかのぼります。花が咲く・花模様で飾るという感覚がそのまま残る語で、関連語に flora, florist があります。
Flowered consists of flower and the past-participial ending -ed. Flower entered English through Old French flor or flour and ultimately comes from Latin flos, with the accusative form florem, meaning “flower.” The noun developed a verb meaning “produce blossoms,” and its past participle came to describe a plant on which blossoms had appeared. Related forms such as flora and florist preserve the same Latin floral association.
