Bedizen is the prefix be-, "completely; thoroughly; excessively" + dizen, an archaic word meaning "to deck out in fine clothes and ornaments," from Middle Dutch disen, "to dress (a distaff) with flax ready for spinning," from Middle Low German dise, "the bunch of flax placed on a distaff."

clepe (kleep) verb tr., past participle cleped/clept or ycleped/yclept
(i-KLEPT)

To call or name.

[From Middle English clepen, from Old English cleopican, from clipian (tospeak or call).
