Where this word comes from

From Middle High German zierōt, derived from Middle High German ziere (and its ancestral forms) and the Germanic suffix *-ōd(i)-, expressing a state or condition (cf. Heimat). As the suffix is archaic in modern German, the word is usually reinterpreted as a compound of Zier (“decoration”) and Rat (“goods, effects”) and spelled accordingly. The Duden dictionary lists the latter as the dominant form.
