Morphology
bemedaled = bemedal (transparent) = be + medal + ed
The adjective is a regular past-participle/adjectival form of 'bemedal' (be- + medal), so its meaning is directly derived from 'medal'.
Etymology
Bemedaled comes from the English prefix be- 'make or have' and the common word medal 'small metal prize'. So a bemedaled person is 'wearing many medals' or 'covered with medals', which shows honor or achievement.
