German term or phrase: ausstaffiert
Context:
Matterhorn, Chalet, Alphorn, Sennen – sie sind die scheinbar beständigen Bilder im Image der Schweiz. **Ausstaffiert** und präsentiert wurden sie allerdings erst in den Dreissigerjahren des 20. Jahrhunderts, als das Design der Schweiz viel erfunden hat, um das Land von den feindlichen Ländern ringsum zu unterscheiden.

polished


Explanation:
