Etymology
Decorator (in programming) uses the same idea as decorating a room: it 'wraps' a function to add features like logging or checks without changing the original code. The word comes from Latin decorare 'to adorn', so a programming decorator adds things around a function in the same way a decorator adds things to a room.
