Is 'deck' a shortened form of 'decorate'?

I looked up 'deck' today and found out that 'to deck' can mean 'to decorate'.

Does 'deck' come from 'decorate'?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. The movie star appeared at the gala all decked out in many diamonds. There is a Christmas carol: "Deck the halls with boughs of holly".
