festoonery = festoon (transparent) = festoon + ery

Formed from 'festoon' + the productive suffix '-ery' meaning a collection or set of decorations, so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Festoonery comes from festoon, which is related to feast and festive and originally meant decorations used at a party. Think of long chains of flowers or ribbons hung between points to make a place look 'festive', so festoonery means those hanging decorations.
