EN: decoration, ornament, garnish
The extra stuff that makes things pretty. It's the banderitas during a fiesta, the Christmas balls on a tree, the parsley on your steak that you don't actually eat. In short, it's for aesthetic purposes. Your minimalist friend might say it's just clutter, but for Pinoys, more palamuti means more fun.
From "pa-" (prefix for purpose/adornment) + "muti" (an archaic root possibly related to beauty or value).
A very general term for any kind of decoration.
