Bebed

/bɪˈbɛd/ adjective

Definition

Placed in or covered with a bed; arranged as if on a bed.

Etymology

From 'be-' plus 'bed' (a place to sleep or a layer of material). Can mean both literally putting something in a bed and arranging geological or horticultural layers.

Kelly Says

Geologists still use this concept when rocks are 'bebed' in layers—the word captures both comfort and scientific stratification in one elegant term.
