I imagine that's because this word is used a lot in online store listings? It's hard to filter out those results, but I found these two sentence at least: "王后的五种车：一是重翟，驾车的马面上有用金镂饰的当卢，马勒两侧缀饰着红色的缯带。" "金齐国王墓中齐国王夫人头戴的蹋鸱巾和齐国王的相似，头巾下有一顶用铁丝编制的盛子做支撑，头巾背后中部缀饰了一件双练鹊衔花枝玉饰。"

In any case it is not a very common word. Quite literary, in fact. You might have better luck finding real usage in a sentence if you search in Google Books.

Thank you. Actually, I don't find all verbal instaces of "綴飾" odd. This one, "牆上掛的畫總覺得很有藝術感，綴飾了整片水泥牆" seems natural to me, as it fits the pattern "(點)綴(裝)飾 something," i.e., "to decorate something."

<p>綴飾 can either be used as a verb as &quot;decorate&quot;, or a noun as &quot;decoration&quot;. For the given sentence, 這件衣服綴飾了許多亮片 - This cloth is/has <strong>decorated</strong> with many paillettes. Here, 綴 means 縫補(sew) or 連結(connect), both are verbs.</p>
