短释义：
Gaudy is an adjective that means “ostentatious” — in other words, flashy and in your face, and not in a good way. Someone in a gaudy outfit is probably trying too hard to be cool and stylish. Gaudy evolved from the Middle English gaud “deception, trick” in the 1520’s. That word, in turn, came from gaudi, used to describe a “large, ornamental bead in a rosary.”
艳丽的东西是艳丽，明亮，绝对是俗气的。因此，三思而后行，那套艳丽的彩虹色西装和闪亮的金鞋合奏。

词源：
gaudy(adj.)”showy, tastelessly rich,” c. 1600; earlier “joyfully festive” (1580s), probably a re-adjectivizing of gaudy (n.) “large, ornamental bead in a rosary” (early 14c.) via the noun gaud + -y (2.). In early Modern English it also could mean “full of trickery” (1520s).
Or possibly the adjective is from or influenced by Middle English noun gaudegrene (early 14c.), name of a yellowish-green color or pigment, originally of dye obtained from the weld plant (see weld (n.1)). This Germanic plant-name became gaude in Old French, and thus the Middle English word. Under this theory, the sense shifted from “weld-dye” to “bright ornamentation.”
As a noun, “feast, festival” 1650s, from gaudy day “day of rejoicing” (1560s).

gaudy challenges the eye by brilliant color or combinations of colors, but is not in good taste. [Century Dictionary]
also from c. 1600
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
Gaudy（adj。）“艳丽，无味的丰富”，c。 1600;早些时候“欢乐的节日”（1580年代）可能通过名词gaud + -y（2.）重新映射了gaudy（n。）“念珠中的大型，装饰性珠”（14c。）。在现代英语早期，这也可能意味着“充满欺骗性”（1520年代）。或可能来自中等英语名词Gaudegrene（14c。），黄绿色或色素的名称，最初是从焊接植物获得的染料（请参阅Weld（N.1））。这个日耳曼植物名称在古老的法语中变成了Gaude，因此是中间英语单词。在这个理论下，这种感觉从“焊接”转变为“明亮的装饰”。作为名词，“盛宴，节日” 1650年代，从豪迪（Gaudy）的日子“欢乐日”（1560年代）。艳丽的颜色或颜色组合挑战了眼睛，但品味不佳。 [世纪词典]也来自c。 1600
