wedding decor singular

Morphology

wedding + decor

The meaning 'the decorations used for a wedding' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'wedding' (the event) with 'decor' (aesthetic decorations). This noun+noun compositional pattern is common in English and across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

The compound noun wedding decor comes from two simple ideas: wedding (the special day) and decor (things used to make a place look beautiful). Imagine a room hung with flowers, candles and ribbons; that picture explains why wedding decor means 'the decorations and arrangements used for a wedding'.
