**embellir** (verb) comes from Old French *embelleir* (15th c.), itself formed with the prefix *em-* (“in, into”) plus *bel*, a French form of Latin *bellus* “pretty, beautiful”. The construction follows a common medieval pattern of turning an adjective into a verb that means “to make beautiful”. Thus, *embellir* literally means “to make beautiful” and has remained in French with this sense since the Middle Ages.
