Etymology: "Embellisher" is an agent noun built from "embellish" and the suffix "-er," which English has attached to verbs since Old English to name the person or thing that does the action. The plural "embellishers" simply adds an "-s" to that form, so the word inherits the same structure as "writer" or "baker." The verb "embellish" itself came into English through Old French, from the stem of "embellir," meaning "to make beautiful," which combined "en-" (in, into) with "bel" (beautiful), the same root found in "beauty" and "belle." That makes the core of the word a notion of making something more beautiful. Over time, the sense shifted from decorative beauty toward the adding of ornament, and in this case to the adding of extra material to a story.
