broider

/bɹˈɔɪdɚ/ verb B2

to embroider

Word Origin Broider is an old word for embroidering, and it's actually the simpler form — embroider came later with the prefix em- added. It goes back to Frankish *brordon, meaning to stitch decoratively. You can see the same root in embroidery and overbroider (to embroider over). It's a word that feels like medieval tapestries being stitched.
