prettygoodwordprink - v., to dress in a showy or careful manner, to deck oneself out, primp.
From the mid-16th century. Etymologically, this, prick, and prank all seem to be somehow, confusingly related -- in any case, there are related Dutch and German words such as pranken and pronken, from whence the English come.
