What 縟 means
Ornate to the point of fussy.
It starts with dense textile pattern — 糸 is silk, 辱 gives the sound — then stretches to elaborate writing and ritual. So the same character praises rich decoration and scolds needless formalities, depending on the compound. Alone it never means bedding; that is 褥.
Literary and formal: praise for ornament, criticism for excess.
